Erie Federal Credit Union is lending a hand to help members who have been impacted by the sudden closure of the Erie Coke Plant.

A special Loan Assistance Program is available to assist credit union members who are experiencing financial difficulties due to an involuntary furlough, job change or layoff.

“We are always here for our members and will make every effort to help them and their families through this trying time,” said Brian Waugaman, CEO of Erie Federal Credit Union.

Erie FCU members can contact the credit union for information, eligibility and guidance on the program by calling 814-825-2436 or visiting any branch office.
