To assist credit union people affected by Hurricane Michael, your Northwest Credit Union Foundation is teaming up with the National Credit Union Foundation as they activate the online disaster relief system, CUAID.COOP to raise money for credit union employees and volunteers.
Credit union employees, volunteers, and members, as well as credit unions and credit union organizations across the United States, can contribute directly through the site.
Your Foundation is contributing $5,000 to seed the Northwest credit union community’s contributions to CUAID.COOP. We’re asking credit unions and credit union members to join our efforts.
