First Heritage Co-operative Credit Union Limited (FHC) has announced a three-month loan payment moratorium for members directly impacted by Hurricane Melissa, reinforcing its longstanding commitment to the credit union philosophy of “People Helping People.”
This initiative, implemented through the Melissa Relief Loan Moratorium, is part of FHC’s continued effort to give back to members who have placed their trust in the institution as their financial partner of choice.
“Our members are at the heart of everything we do,” said Michelle Tracey, Assistant General Manager – Marketing, Communications and Member Experience. “In times like these, it’s important that we stand firmly with them. The moratorium provides a measure of relief for those affected by Hurricane Melissa, helping them focus on rebuilding their lives and livelihoods.”
The moratorium allows eligible members to defer loan payments for up to three months. Members may apply by contacting their branch representative, completing the moratorium request form, and submitting a brief description of their impact along with supporting documentation where available.
In addition to the moratorium, the Credit Union has launched a donation drive encouraging members and the wider public to contribute non-perishable food items and other essential supplies. Drop boxes have been placed across FHC branches to make it easy for persons to donate, as part of the organization’s collective effort to support communities most severely impacted by the hurricane.
“The credit union movement is built on solidarity and community,” added Tracey. “Through this initiative, we are living out our core ethos of People Helping People and reaffirming our role as a dependable financial partner in both good and challenging times.”
