BEAUMONT, Texas – To mark International Credit Union Day (ICU Day), Education First Federal Credit Union joined credit unions worldwide in celebrating the day by allowing its members to decide how to give $5,000 back to the Southeast Texas Community.
Education First selected three non-profit organizations that serve critical needs within our community: The Arc of Greater Beaumont, Crisis Center of Southeast Texas, and the Beaumont Rainbow Room. Members were given the opportunity to vote for the organization they wanted to receive the most money.
After counting the votes, The Crisis Center of Southeast Texas was awarded $2,500, The Beaumont Rainbow Room was awarded $1,500 and Arc of Greater Beaumont was awarded $1,000.
Beyond the community campaign, Education First FCU also celebrated ICU Day by thanking their members as well. Members who visited an Education First FCU location on ICU Day received a gift along with a refreshment to help celebrate the credit union movement.
