The holidays look a little different this year, which is why we recently held a fundraiser in our branches and online in support of the Family Care Network. This local nonprofit supports children and youth in foster care, as well as families struggling with homelessness and unhealed trauma in San Luis Obispo and Northern Santa Barbara Counties this holiday season.
Wherever learning occurs, SESLOC Education grants are available to support classroom innovation. Here’s how four teachers used grants to support their remote learning curriculum:
During the month of August, we hosted a fundraiser for Jack’s Helping Hand, a local nonprofit that supports special needs children and their families. Together, SESLOC members and employees raised over $4,000 in support of the Jack Ready Imagination Park. We are thankful to those who could donate, especially during this concerning time.
SESLOC is the proud sponsor of EverFi’s Financial Scholars program, which provides financial education for Central Coast high school students. During the 2019-2020 school year, the COVID-19 pandemic drove an unprecedented level of school closures, especially on the Central Coast. SESLOC Financial Scholars proved to be a valuable supplement to teachers’ remote learning plans.
SESLOC’s roots are in education, which is why we’re committed to celebrating local teachers by offering unique resources and financial services tailored to their needs.
The ongoing COVID crisis is chaotic and unpredictable, leaving many feeling stressed, lost, and worried about their futures. But the crisis has also emphasized the role credit unions play in their communities— credit unions are known for their commitment to passionately serve their members during all phases of life, and especially during times of crisis. SESLOC Credit Union has seen its membership safely through historic crises since 1942.
SESLOC has partnered with the San Luis Obispo Children’s Museum to provide “Busy Boxes” to families with kids that are home due to the school closures in response to COVID-19. The “boxes” will have crafts, science projects, and games with instructions inside them.
2019 has been quite a year! We launched new services and programs to make SESLOC more convenient and accessible, and hosted educational seminars to ensure you have the tools to achieve financial wellness.
Critical thinking is an essential skill for success, and educators are finding creative ways to introduce it into their classrooms. Here’s how three teachers used SESLOC Education Grants to spark critical thinking:

To help even more projects get off the ground, we’re expanding our lending territory for commercial real estate loans. In addition to serving our home area of San Luis Obispo and Northern Santa Barbara counties, commercial real estate loans are now available to an expanded field of membership.
SESLOC is making the experience even better for members shopping for a new auto across the Central Coast with the Preferred Dealer Program.
In the spirit of “People Helping People,” SESLOC marks National Cybersecurity Awareness Month to help you stay aware of cyber threats.
