BATON ROUGE, LA — Neighbors is proud to name Emily Stearns of Port Allen as our fourth annual May We Pay Your Mortgage contest winner. Participants were invited to enter by engaging with Neighbors through social media. The contest had more than 3500 entries this year.

“Winning our mortgage paid for a month will allow us to use what we would be paying for the mortgage and put that money back into the house,” Stearns said. “We'll be able to put it either towards needed home improvements or furnishings.”

The contest was open to anyone within the nine-parish Greater Baton Rouge area with a mortgage loan, not just NFCU members. However, Stearns and her husband have both been long-time members of Neighbors FCU.

Neighbors Federal Credit Union is a not-for-profit financial cooperative operating as an association dedicated to "people helping people.” A handful of educators started Baton Rouge Teachers in 1954 with a shoebox, a couple hundred dollars and the goal of making financial services available to school system employees in our area.
