Valdosta, GA There are a lot of expenses that go into running a successful non-profit some obvious, some not so obvious. And if you're LAMP (Lowndes Associated Ministries to People) or LARC (Lowndes Advocacy Resource Center), one of those expenses is transportation.
Southeastern Federal Credit Union stepped up to help out LAMP and LARC with their transportation expenses, donating a van to each organization, along with $500 each to help cover the operating expenses of the vans for a year.� "All credit unions share the motto 'People helping people,'" said Darryl Wood, Interim President and CEO of SFCU. "In our business, we do two things: we serve our members and we serve the community."
After SFCU purchased two new corporate vehicles late last year, they had to decide what to do with the ones they had been using.� "They were still in great shape and we decided...to donate them to non-profits," said Lori Cauley, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development for SFCU. "We really based our decision largely on the fact that these two organizations can really benefit from reliable transportation in a way that many other non-profits don't."
