FCCU Donates $909.09 to the Jefferson County Literacy Council Through Employee Charitable Contributions

Fort Community Credit Union (FCCU) is proud to announce a donation of $909.09 to the Jefferson County Literacy Council (JCLC), supporting its mission to improve adult literacy and empower lifelong learning throughout the community.

The donation was raised through FCCU’s new employee charitable giving program, which allows team members to
voluntarily contribute a portion of their paychecks to local nonprofit organizations. In its inaugural year, the program supported 11 local organizations selected for their meaningful impact on the wellbeing of the communities FCCU serves.

The Jefferson County Literacy Council was chosen as one of the program’s first-year beneficiaries due to its vital role in providing adult education services, including reading and writing support, English language instruction, digital literacy training, and preparation for citizenship and GED testing. These programs help community members build confidence, secure employment, and pursue greater opportunities for themselves and their families.

JCLC’s work strengthens the entire region by reducing educational barriers and promoting economic stability.
Through personalized instruction and volunteer-driven initiatives, the organization ensures that individuals of all
ages and backgrounds have access to the resources they need to succeed.

“We appreciate the community-based financial literacy courses and resources that FCCU provides that directly
support our mission,” said Pamela Waters, Executive Director of JCLC. “This contribution will allow JCLC to continue offering adult learning opportunities for English language instruction, citizenship and preparation for GED/HSED. We are truly grateful and honored to be the stewards of this gift!

FCCU’s employee giving program reflects the credit union’s cooperative values and its commitment to empowering
team members to make a direct impact in their own communities. By combining employee contributions with
FCCU’s support, the program amplifies the reach of local nonprofits that are addressing important community needs.
