Champion Credit Union

In response to the devastation caused by Tropical Storm Fred in 2021, we created our Member Relief Fund, providing over $200,000 in grants to support our community. When Evergreen Packaging announced it's closure in March 2023, we expanded the fund to help those facing unforeseen financial hardships, distributing an additional $40,000 in relief grants. Our Member Relief Fund exists for moments like this. The catastrophic impact of Hurricane Helene has been heartbreaking - lives and homes lost, families displaced, and essential services disrupted. As such, we are re-launching our Member Relief Fund, which is available to our members across all nine counties we serve who have experienced significant damage, leaving their home temporarily or permanently uninhabitable. We recognize the immense need and truly wish we could provide financial support to every one of our members. Our community has been fortunate to receive aid and support from organizations across the region and the country to help those affected. Our fund will specifically assist members who have been displaced and need financial resources to begin rebuilding their lives. Please visit https://lnkd.in/eu4St_Tp for more details and to apply. We appreciate your continued patience and are here for you during this time. #ChampionCU #ExperienceMore #WNCStrong #MemberReliefGrant #HurricaneHelene #HurricaneRelief #DisasterRelief #Hurricane #HurricaneDamage #Displaced #Local #WNC
