Community Impact
SESLOC Supports the Jack Ready Imagination Park
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 Supports Local Food Banks
Now more than ever, our neighbors are relying on the support of our local food banks for access to wholesome nutrition. Even prior to the current COVID and economic crisis, 1 in 6 people in SLO County and 1 in 4 in Santa Barbara County struggled with food insecurity. Many of those in need are seniors and children.
SESLOC Resources Supporting Teachers
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.
SESLOC Partnering With SLO Children’s Museum to Provide “Busy Boxes” for Families
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.
Education Grants Support Classroom Innovation
Innovation is a critical skill that allows us to build a bridge between dreams and reality. Here’s how three teachers used SESLOC Education Grants to support innovation:
From Your CEO — Winter 2020
Happy New Year! Can you believe we just entered into a new decade? As I reflect on the past 10 years, it has been filled with many changes in the credit union industry. All banks and credit unions were recovering from The Great Recession in the early years of the last decade as well as responding to new regulations being imposed on institutions.
Local Teachers Use Grants to Spark Critical Thinking
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:
Youth Ag Programs Shape Future Leaders
How do you raise a prize-winning pig? Just ask Lygren, a local high school student and SESLOC member who did just that.
From Your CEO — Fall 2019
I’d like to start by saying thank you for your generous support throughout August to help raise funds for Jack’s Helping Hand, a local nonprofit that offers programs for special needs children and their families. Over the last five years, you’ve contributed over $35,000 to help build the Jack Ready Imagination Park, a universally accessible playground where special needs children can play along-side able-bodied children in a safe, sunny environment. It was truly an honor to walk into our branches and see the walls covered with handprints as a display of your support.
