Coming together for our community!
When flooding struck northern Michigan communities this spring, families across our region faced unexpected hardship, including damaged homes, emergency expenses, lost income, and the exhausting uncertainty of displacement.
We believe that in times like these, the credit union difference matters most. That's why the Paul Bunyan Chapter of credit unions joined together to create the Northern Michigan Flood Relief Fund: a coalition-backed micro-grant program designed to provide direct financial relief to members in need.
This isn't a loan. It's simply people helping people.
