The credit union announced donations of $25,000 each to United Way Emerald Coast and United Way of West Florida.

As our neighbors begin the road to recovery, this donation will help provide critical support where it is needed most.” The donations will help address immediate and long-term needs resulting from Hurricane Isaias, including housing assistance, essential household expenses, and other recovery-related services.
