Words could never express how amazing it feels to enter our renovated spaces. The difference between the before and afters is like night and day. The faculty, staff and students were totally shocked by the upgrades provided through the School Crashers Grant from Georgia United Foundation and program sponsors. I am a 23 year educator in the Dekalb County School District. This by far is the best thing that has ever happened to me as an employee. We cannot thank you enough for choosing us for this unique opportunity. The Salem Middle School family is eternally grateful.

Your support plays a vital role in our efforts to promote financial education initiatives, offer scholarships and grants to assist credit union employees with the training they need to achieve professional excellence, provide financial relief for credit union staff and volunteers when disaster strikes, and support credit unions in achieving their own community development objectives. Words alone can’t express how appreciative we are!

We rely on support from community partners like Georgia United Credit Union. With their funding, we will serve so many families during these trying times. Filling basic needs, like diapers, for families makes such a difference. Collaborations and partners are what help make our communities stronger.
