Message to Our Members – February 2025

(2 Minute Read) — As we’ve witnessed the devastating wildfires affecting the Los Angeles area, our thoughts are with everyone impacted by this ongoing crisis. At Unitus Community Credit Union, we are deeply committed to supporting communities during times of disaster. We have made donations to the California Fire Foundation and the World Central Kitchen, which is on the ground providing meals.

Emergencies like wildfires serve as a powerful reminder of the importance of being prepared—not just physically, but financially. Taking steps now to safeguard your family and finances can make all the difference when faced with unexpected challenges. Start by ensuring you have access to essential documents, such as insurance policies, identification, and financial records, stored in a safe and easily accessible location. Consider setting aside an emergency fund that can help cover necessities during a crisis. Even small, consistent contributions to savings can build a safety net over time. 

We understand that moments like these can bring added stress and uncertainty. To help ease the burden, Unitus is here to provide resources and guidance to help you stay on track with your financial goals. Whether you’re looking for tips on rebuilding your savings or strategies for managing expenses during difficult times, we encourage you to visit our website or contact us directly for personalized support. At Unitus, your well-being is our priority, and we stand with you through this challenging time. Together, we can weather any storm and build a future of resilience and stability.
