August 07 2024 - 11:21AM
Servus Credit Union is announcing a donation of $30,000 for relief
and recovery efforts to support the Town of Jasper and surrounding
communities following the wildfires that devastated the region in
July 2024, and which continue to burn.
The donation will be divided equally between the Jasper Food
Bank Society and the Jasper Community Team Society, both of which
are valued and important Servus members that serve the Jasper
community.
"This donation underscores Servus's commitment to the community.
Both of these organizations have always been there for the
residents of Jasper, and now it is our turn to be there for them.
We know that this donation will go a long way in providing the
community with the immediate and long-term supports that are needed
to get them through the difficult days ahead," says Ian Burns,
President and CEO of Servus Credit Union.
Servus is also providing impacted members with access to loan
and mortgage payment deferrals, additional credit, and help with
insurance.
The Jasper Food Bank, whose building was destroyed in the
wildfires, offers food support to all Jasper residents in need. The
Jasper Community Team Society provides programs, resources and
services for residents of all ages, free of charge. They are
currently accepting donations for residents impacted by the
wildfires with 100 per cent of funds collected going directly to
the community.
