PANAMA CITY, Fla.–Seven local credit unions behind The Credit Union House will officially kick off the framing phase of construction with a special “First Swing” event today at 10:00 a.m.
During the First Swing, CEOs from each participating credit union will hammer the first nails into the home’s framework, symbolizing the strength of partnership and shared purpose, the credit unions said.
“This build reflects the credit union philosophy of people helping people, bringing together funding, volunteerism, and leadership in support of safe, affordable housing,” the CUs added.
The Participating CUs
The participating credit unions – All In Credit Union, Champions First Credit Union, Hello Credit Union, Innovations Financial Credit Union, Loyalty Credit Union, Panhandle Credit Union, and Tyndall Federal Credit Union –are working alongside Habitat for Humanity of Bay County to make homeownership possible for a local family.
The participating CUs said the family selected to receive the home will be present for the First Swing, joining credit union leaders and Habitat representatives as construction officially begins.
“Their presence highlights this project’s purpose to create stability and opportunity right here in Bay County,” the CUs stated.
