Community First Credit Union

⚠️ Member Alert ⚠️ Never leave your purses, wallets, or any valuables in your vehicles, especially at places like gyms, daycare centers, and other common spots. These areas are often targeted for break-ins because thieves know people tend to leave their belongings behind while they’re occupied. If your wallet is stolen, it's not just about the immediate loss of cash or credit cards. Your personal information, like your Driver's License, can be used for identity theft, leading to long-term issues. Replacing stolen items and dealing with the aftermath can be a stressful and time-consuming process. If the unfortunate happens and your entire wallet is stolen, make sure to report your cards as lost or stolen immediately and let your financial institutions know that your Driver's License has also been taken. This can help prevent identity theft and additional unauthorized activities. #SafetyFirst #PreventTheft #StayAlert #IdentityTheftPrevention

♻️ Kindness in our Community Spotlight ♻️ 🤝 Our Kindness Crew volunteer team volunteered with St. Johns Riverkeeper back in October, cleaning up McCoys Creek at Powers Park. They learned about environmental conservation and the importance of the River's health to the ecosystems in and surrounding it. Our team collected many bags and pounds of trash, successfully making an impact right in our neighborhood. 🌿 We are grateful for the nonprofit in their efforts to educate the Northeast Florida community and tireless work to ensure a clean and healthy river for current and future generations. 👉 Want to get involved or learn more about how you can support St. Johns Riverkeeper?

📣 Employee Spotlight! 📣 Our next team member is Karlyn B., who is part of our Express Team that helps open loans and credit cards. Her commitment to excellence shines through in her daily efforts to support our members, always striving to help them achieve their financial goals and live their best lives. Let’s meet her! ❓What makes you, uniquely you? ✏️ In addition to my old soul and fondness for cold weather, my dedication to animal rescue sets me apart. I volunteer at a local animal rescue organization, Ana's Angels, where I assist at adoption events, foster animals, respond to calls for help, and trap animals in need of medical care. This work is by far the most rewarding experience. I also have a cat at home that I personally rescued. He was a stray that got hit by a car. It took over a week of setting traps and sleeping in my car, but I eventually caught him. Now, he lives happily indoors, though he only has three legs. ❓What is your favorite ‘member moment’? ✏️ One of my favorite member moments was when a new member I helped with a vehicle loan called to thank me for my time and effort. Their application was more challenging, but they were incredibly grateful for how efficiently and quickly I handled their loan. It was such a satisfying moment to receive a call just to say "Thank you." ❓What inspires you? ✏️ My nieces are my greatest inspiration, motivating me to be the best person I can be. I strive to be the person for them that I needed at their age, and our close bond is such a great feeling. ❓What is your favorite part of living in Northeast Florida? ✏️ Our beaches! I love looking for sharks teeth and we have some of the best beaches right in our own backyard. I actually have my favorite shark tooth from my collection as a tattoo! Our team members are what make our company culture one of the best. Check out our latest job opportunities and join the fun! https://hubs.li/Q02DbqS40 #employeespotlight #meettheteam #joinourteam
