“Our hearts go out to everyone who has been impacted by this crisis. We know that many of our families and neighbors are concerned about their financial welfare,” said Timothy L. Anderson USSFCU President and CEO. “If COVID-19 measures are affecting your income, you’re not alone. Together with GreenPath, we have put programs in place to provide needed assistance and help ease financial stress during this extraordinary time.”
