OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.–Credit unions in Oklahoma, which are served by the Cornerstone CU League that also serves CUs in Texas, have organized a response and are providing assistance following Hurricane/Tropical Storm Harvey.
According to the Cornerstone league, Oklahoma Credit Union Association President Nate Webb has been marshaling assistance for storm-affected credit unions.
"Many of the evacuees will be sent to temporary shelters in the Dallas area and will be in need of some very basic supplies," Webb told the Cornerstone CU League. "Oklahomans are well versed in supporting disaster victims, and it's why we are conducting a drive to collect essential items here in Oklahoma that can be transported to the appropriate Dallas shelters."
The CCUL said Webb and his team have established two Oklahoma collection points to gather supplies, which will then be taken to Dallas for distribution.
