On behalf of the team at CUES, our hearts go out to all those who were recently affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. During these challenging times, we stand in solidarity with our credit union community, their employees, and the members they serve. In the aftermath of such events, the power of the credit union movement shines through in its dedication to "people helping people." We want to remind credit unions, their employees, and their members that support is available to help them navigate recovery. The CUAid program (https://hubs.la/Q02T4b020) by the National Credit Union Foundation offers vital disaster relief tailored specifically to the credit union community. Additionally, local resources, including those through the League of Southeastern Credit Unions (https://hubs.la/Q02T3ZdJ0), are ready to assist credit unions and their teams with immediate needs.
