SESLOC hosted a fundraiser for local food banks in May for the fourth year in a row. SESLOC, employees, and members raised over $15,000 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.
We donated $40,000 to 80 local nonprofits in celebration of our 80th anniversary in 2022. Throughout the year-long celebration, our amazing staff nominated their favorite organizations to receive a $500 donation — a nod to the amount the credit union was founded with in 1942.
80 years of People & Place. 1 Year of Absolute Awesome.
SESLOC was recently awarded a “Diamond Level” award in the 2022 SLO County Family-Friendly Workplaces by the San Luis Obispo Chamber of Commerce.
