Eglin FCU donates $50,000 for Hurricane Isaias recovery
FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. — Eglin Federal Credit Union has donated $50,000 to two United Way organizations to help families and communities across Northwest Florida recover from Hurricane Isaias. The credit union announced donations of $25,000 each to United Way Emerald Coast and United Way of West Florida. United Way Emerald Coast will direct its funding toward recovery efforts in Okaloosa and Walton counties, while United Way of West Florida will use its donation specifically to assist residents of Santa Rosa County, which experienced some of the region’s most extensive storm damage. “We are so grateful that Eglin Federal Credit Union, a long-time partner of local United Ways, is providing this assistance during this difficult time for our community members,” said United Way Emerald Coast President and CEO Kelly Jasen. “Hardworking families can struggle to make ends meet even during the best of times, and this disaster has only increased the challenges many are facing. 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.
