SELCO Staff Volunteers Time On Columbus Day

EUGENE, Ore.–Pointing out that it's just another demonstration of "the credit union difference," SELCO Community CU employees will be hard at work on what is traditionally a "bank holiday" this coming Monday, volunteering at more than a dozen local agencies.

“Credit unions are unique because they are member-owned financial cooperatives—not a distant name traded on Wall Street," said Bob Newcomb, SELCO CEO. "SELCO has its roots deeply imbedded in this community, and it’s important that our neighbors see our faces out there making a difference and understand that we’ll be here to help them, too, regardless of the changing financial landscape.”

The agencies include FOOD for Lane County, NextStep Recycling, Relief Nursery, and the Cascades Raptor Center. Team members will do a variety of light gardening, construction, and cleaning duties depending on their interest and physical abilities.
