RE: Pennsylvania Flood Disaster Relief Available for Credit Union Members,
Volunteers and Employees
In response to Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee, the Pennsylvania
Credit Union Association (PCUA) has joined forces with the National Credit Union
Foundation (NCUF) to activate an online disaster relief system, CUAid.coop, to
raise money for credit union people affected along the East Coast. Funds from
CUAid will be used to assist credit union employees, volunteers, members, and
credit unions in Pennsylvania who suffered losses not covered by insurance or
any other government assistance.
Grants will range from $500
to $1,500. Grant applications will be available until October 30, 2011. The
grant application and criteria can be downloaded from the PA Credit Union
Foundation’s website:
http://www.pcua.coop/About-Us/Affiliates/PaCUF.aspx. Grants will only
be made to Pennsylvania residents to cover flood damage that occurred from
Tropical Storm Lee in September 2011.
Joining together cooperatively to help those in need is the heart and soul of
the credit union movement. Credit unions are committed to help their
members in these very unfortunate times and we ask you to assist us by sharing
this relief information with your constituents.
