Credit Union support for Haiti

 

 

Date: January 15, 2010
To: Illinois Member Credit Unions
From: Dan Plauda, CEO, Illinois Credit Union League
RE: Credit union support for Haiti


The National Credit Union Foundation in conjunction with the World Council of Credit Unions has activated its online disaster relief system, CUAid.coop, to raise money for credit union employees, volunteers and members affected by the powerful earthquake that devastated much of Haiti, especially the city of Port-au-Prince.

It appears that up to three million people have been affected and many thousands may be dead.

Currently there are 175 credit unions serving 404,000 members in Haiti, many of which will need help.

All donations made to CUAid will be forwarded to credit union organizations in affected areas through the National Credit Union Foundation.  Both the League and LSC will make a donation.

To make a donation online go to http://www.cuaid.coop.  Thank you for once again expressing the credit unions’ philosophy of “People Helping People”.

Our Mission: To Serve You

We, as the financial support system of credit unions, are committed to the "people helping people" concept of credit unions as cooperative financial institutions.  Our purpose is to provide credit unions with a favorable operating environment and quality information, products and services which have value, and which enable credit unions to exist, compete and prosper in the financial marketplace.
