“We are incredibly grateful to Space Coast Credit Union for the strong partnership we’ve built and their continued commitment to supporting the communities they serve,” said Janice Moran, executive director of the Red Cross’s North and Central Florida Region.
The credit union supports the Red Cross through its Partners in Purpose program. United Way Space Coast is working with Brevard County Emergency Management and local organizations to coordinate volunteers and connect residents with assistance.
