The Community Heroes program will provide four recipients with $5,000 each to help reduce their student loan debt. This initiative demonstrates the Foundation's dedication to helping local community leaders achieve financial independence, while also motivating them to continue their important work within their communities.
"We are thrilled to introduce Community Heroes," said Damian Alarcon, president of Travis Credit Union Foundation. "This program is designed to make a real difference in the lives of community heroes by helping them move towards financial freedom. We hope this support will encourage them to continue their valuable work in the community for many years to come."
