During Shared Branching Awareness Week, CSE Federal Credit Union proudly hosted a food drive to benefit the Tiger Love Food Pantry at SOWELA Technical Community College. The week-long initiative, held from May 19–23, invited members and the local community to donate non-perishable food and essential items to support SOWELA students, faculty, and staff.
Thanks to the generosity of our members and team, donations at all CSE branches were collected and brought to campus to help those in need.
The event coincided with CSE’s participation in a nationwide celebration of the Shared Branching Network system that offers CSE members access to more than 5,000 credit union locations across all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Guam. These are full-service branches where members can perform their regular banking as if they were at their home location, underscoring the accessibility and convenience that Shared Branching provides.
“This was a perfect opportunity to highlight both our commitment to the community and the value of Shared Branching,” said Matt Koch, President and CEO at CSE Federal Credit Union. “Thanks to the generosity of our members and team, we were able to collect a significant number of donations for SOWELA’s food pantry—and remind everyone that banking with CSE means support wherever you go.”
