KENNESAW, Ga.—A new Disaster Response Vehicle, a fully equipped 48-foot mobile relief unit, has been rolled out by The Credit Union Impact Foundation, the charitable arm of The League of Credit Unions & Affiliates.
The vehicle was developed through a strategic partnership with ServeComm.
“Credit unions consistently step up when disaster strikes—providing critical support to members, employees, and communities once officials confirm it is safe for relief efforts to begin,” the foundation said. “This new partnership builds on that commitment, ensuring help reaches the areas that need it most.”
According to the league, the unit can be deployed within 24 hours anywhere across its four-state footprint of Florida, Georgia, Alabama and Virginia, and operates as a fully equipped mobile relief center, offering critical post-disaster support for credit union staff, members, and surrounding communities.
What the Unit Contains
“Featuring an onboard generator, washers and dryers, portable showers, and satellite internet, through Starlink, to restore connectivity when traditional infrastructure is down, the vehicle becomes a central hub for recovery, providing essential hygiene services and Wi-Fi access so members can reconnect with loved ones or begin filing insurance claims,” the league said.
“Several years ago, we started talking with The League about what they do in disasters and how our partnership could really take it to the next level,” Mike O’Brien, founder of ServeComm, said in a statement. “Seeing this vehicle come to life shows what can happen when organizations come together with a shared purpose.”
According to the league, the partnership also gives credit unions access to ServeComm’s equipment for community events, strengthening local relationships long before disaster ever strikes, and builds on ServeComm’s proven disaster recovery experience since 2018.
‘Deep Commitment’
“This partnership reflects our deep commitment to giving back and strengthening community resilience,” Bobbi Grady, executive director of the Credit Union Impact Foundation, said in a statement. “The Disaster Response Vehicle reinforces that promise—ensuring credit unions can extend their support even further and stand ready to serve communities when they need it most.”The Credit Union Impact Foundation said the sponsors that helped make the vehicle available include Corporate America Credit Union and Corporate One Federal Credit Union.
