The Road to $100,000 for Hurricane Helene and Milton Relief Efforts
Hurricanes Helene and Milton have caused devastation in six states. It's in times like these that community matters now more than ever. That's why we're matching member donations up to a total of $50,000. That means if our members raise $50,000, we'll donate an additional $50,000 for a total of $100,000 in donations. To help reach our $50,000 goal, we'll donate $.03 to Milton and Helene relief efforts for every credit and debit card transaction.
To be clear, we won't be charging members $.03; we'll be donating from our own assets based on member spending patterns. We’re doing this not just because we have family, members and team members who live in the impacted states, but also because we believe that communities should look out for one another.
These natural disasters have left countless people injured while also causing severe damage to homes, crucial infrastructure, and businesses. Every donation will go toward helping recover and rebuild.
Where Donations Will Go
We focused on choosing organizations that can best provide direct support toward response and recovery efforts. Monetary support provides the most flexibility when it comes to response efforts.
All proceeds from this relief effort will be donated by the TwinStar Community Foundation to the following organizations:
How to Donate to our Hurricane Relief Campaign
You can donate online at TwinStarCU.com/Foundation. If you aren't able to donate at this time, every time you use your NWCU credit or debit card between now and November 15th we are donating $.03 per transaction to our Hurricane relief campaign. That way, members who can't donate can rest easy knowing they're supporting Milton relief efforts through us.
We want to thank you for helping us support hurricane relief efforts, and our hearts and thoughts go out to all those who are affected. We look forward to helping them recover and rebuild.
