HELP US HELP OKLAHOMA

The events over the last week in Oklahoma have given us all reason to pause and reflect on the impending hurricane season that is quickly approaching.  If you’ve been watching the stories coming out of the various cities affected by this terrible disaster I’m sure you have found yourself shedding a few tears – the heroism and heartbreak remind us that we are all one global family.



What was left of Tinker Federal Credit Union, the vault saved
14 employees and 8 members when the tornado hit.



One of the most impactful pictures we saw was from a fellow credit union – Tinker Federal Credit Union (another TFCU). Their branch in Moore was completely leveled EXCEPT for the vault.  Thanks to some quick thinking on the part of the staff, all 22 people who were in the branch at the time the tornado hit, were saved by taking refuge in that vault.   




As a credit union, the plights of those affects haven’t gone unnoticed, and as such effective today Tropical Financial Credit Union will begin collecting money for the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund to help those affected. We also will be matching your donations up to $5,000.  You can help by stopping by any TFCU branch, giving us a call at 888-261-8328, or you can donate online at www.tropicalfcu.com/redcross.

You can help people affected by disasters like floods, fires, tornadoes and hurricanes as well as countless crises at home and around the world, by making a donation to support American Red Cross Disaster Relief.  Your gift enables the Red Cross to prepare for and provide shelter, food, emotional support and other assistance in response to disasters.   They are most often the first on the scene in the event of a disaster and everyone in South Florida is always mindful this time of year of the fact that if another hurricane hits, the Red Cross won’t be far behind.
