Spreading Holiday Cheer in 2020 to our communities is a must here at White Eagle Credit Union.

ElDorado Tree - Food Donation 2020Our El Dorado branch is currently taking food donations (non-perishable items only) for the Salvation Army. Give them a call at (316)320-7649 to schedule a time to drop off.

Next on our list will be our JAG kids and their annual Christmas party and gathering Christmas gifts for 6 families in need in Augusta.

Don’t forget to watch here and social media for other ways we will be spreading Holiday Cheer.  We wish you a very nice holiday season and Merry Christmas.  Stay safe and healthy.

Thanksgiving and Gratitude

“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” – John F Kennedy

Thanksgiving and Gratitude for our members and the communities we serve.

This is the time of year that we take time to acknowledge the things that we are thankful for.  Things like family, friends, health, and also the things we take for granted.  With the current pandemic that we are going through we pray for those that feel isolated and lonely.  We encourage you to reach out to someone you know that is in this position.

Also, we want to thank our members and our communities for allowing us to serve you.  We wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving.  Stay safe and stay healthy.

Best regards, Rick Blue – President

Giving to Meals on Wheels

White Eagle presented a check to Meals on Wheels on Friday, June 14, 2019.

Meals on Wheels delivers a hot, nutritious noon meal to home-bound people age 60 + each weekday. More than just a meal the program provides a friendly, familiar face at the doors of home-bound people every day. Family members and friends are rest assured when they cannot check up on their loved ones, the Meals on Wheels volunteer will be there for them. And for the tax paying public, Meals on Wheels saves valuable financial resources. The cost to deliver Meals on Wheels to one senior for one year is $1,900. Placement in a state funded nursing facility costs the taxpayer up to $40,000 per placement. Meals on Wheels is a valuable lifeline for many people who have difficulty advocating for themselves.

White Eagle – El Dorado presents check to St Francis Ministries

White Eagle Credit Union presented a check to the Saint Francis Ministries.  Saint Francis Ministries serves children and families, young adults and refugees with a variety of programs aimed at doing the most good.

Since 1945, Saint Francis Ministries has been dedicated to the needs of children and youth.  They advocate for them and work to protect them while doing their best to ensure that every child we serve gets a chance at a happy and fulfilling life.

As a non-profit, faith-based organization, St Francis Ministries place great stock in the value of both traditional and non-traditional families and believe strong families make children’s lives better. What began as a home for boys on the Kansas prairie is now a multi-faceted child and family services ministry serving over 31,000 people in Kansas, Mississippi, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Illinois, Texas, El Salvador, and Honduras with a broad range of programs and services.

St Francis Ministries helps strengthen and heal families while providing for the health and security of children. Though rooted in the Episcopal tradition, Saint Francis Ministries is an independent not-for-profit organization dedicated to the protection, nurturing, and healing of children and families in body, mind, and spirit. To that end, while partnering with government agencies in supporting children and families in crisis, Saint Francis Ministries honors religious freedom and is also committed to allowing children and families in its care to participate in religious activities on a voluntary basis.  For more information please visit:  https://saintfrancisministries.org/
