Several Little Cypress-Mauriceville administrators attended the, “We’re Paying it Forward” luncheon, hosted by Education First Federal Credit Union. EFFCU’s “Pay it Forward” program raises funds through the loans they make.
Any time a customer takes out a loan, that person can name which campus he or she prefers and Education First donates a percentage to that school in their service area. Community Relations Director Carrie Haskett told the group that over $50,000 was being given away at the luncheon and that the total given from the inception of the program is almost $500,000.00.
This program is not the only way that EFFCU supports the community. Following Tropical Storm Imelda, they donated thousands of dollars in classroom equipment and supplies to teachers affected by the flooding.
