Our credit union family throughout Northeast Tennessee has been significantly impacted by Hurricane Helene, which has been described as the Katrina of the Southern Appalachians.
We’ve collaborated with the League’s Northeast Tennessee Chapter of Credit Unions to organize a relief drive to offer monetary support specifically for credit union employees and volunteers impacted in Northeast Tennessee.
This structure will help us offer the best opportunity to get much-needed funds into the hands of those most affected as quickly as possible. Here’s how to donate to help credit union employees and volunteers.
How to Donate
A Tennessee Credit Union Hurricane Helene Relief Account has been created at United Southeast Federal Credit Union, which will oversee the repository of all deposits.

To send a check, please make checks payable to “NE TN Chapter of Credit Unions” and mail to:
