ROCKY MOUNT, N.C.–Coastal Credit Union here is donating a building to NC Wesleyan College.
The 6,300-square-foot building will provide space for Wesleyan’s new Community Engagement office, and space to launch a new “school of financial education” curriculum, providing continuing education opportunities for faculty, staff and students.
Coastal said it will also provide resources and expertise to help bring the program to fruition, and then ongoing support. Additionally, the new location will enable the college’s business department to begin a life skills and mentoring program for area high schools, in conjunction with Communities in Schools, CCU said.
“Wesleyan is a vital part of the local community and we’re thrilled to partner with the school to help further our mutual mission to deliver financial education opportunities,” said Coastal CU CEO Chuck Purvis. “Together, we can turn this building into a tremendous community asset.”
Coastal acquired the former branch building in its merger with Freedom Credit Union in July 2016.
