We recently partnered with KSBY News to support childhood literacy with the “If You Give a Child a Book…” campaign, and together, we raised over $41,000!
Thank You For Joining Us For “I Love My Credit Union Day!”
Friday, July 30 was the first I Love My Credit Union Day, where we asked you, our loyal members to tell us what makes SESLOC so special. We are humbled! Thank you for the kind and heartwarming messages left on Facebook, Instagram and on the wall in each branch.
Education Grants Continue to Support Learning Through the Pandemic
The pandemic forced schools to shift learning from in-person, to remote, to back again — or in some cases, a combination of both. As local teachers adapted their lesson plans to face these unique challenges, SESLOC Education Grants provided funding to support innovation and expand supplies. Here’s how a few teachers recently used grants:
Thank You For Supporting Our Local Food Banks!
SESLOC hosted a fundraiser for local food banks in May for the second year in a row. SESLOC, employees, and members raised over $14,000 combined for the SLO Food Bank and Food Bank of Santa Barbara County. Each dollar donated buys enough food for 8 meals, thanks to the Food Banks’ network of partners.
SESLOC “Gives Joy” This Holiday Season
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.
Innovative Teachers Find Ways to Enhance Remote Learning
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:
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.
