CUAid.coop, the National Credit Union Foundation’s (NCUF) online disaster relief system, has generated more than $24,000 for victims of Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee.
The effects of Hurricane Irene are still being felt by credit union people along the East Coast, particularly in New Jersey, New York and Vermont. Tropical Storm Lee has caused severe flooding in Pennsylvania, said NCUF.
“We are still in the process of surveying the damage to credit unions, employees, and members,” said Jim McCormack, president/CEO of the Pennsylvania Credit Union Association (PCUA), Harrisburg, Pa. “There has been substantial flood damage in several areas across Pennsylvania and our association, through the Pennsylvania and National Credit Union Foundations, will work with credit unions to help ease some of the financial burden on people who may have lost everything.”
