Ukrainian Selfreliance Federal Credit Union

The World Credit Union Conference has kicked off in Boston. Our CEO, Anatoli Murha, is present along with colleagues from credit unions in Ukraine, as well as Ukrainian American and Ukrainian Canadian credit unions.   This morning, Anatoli was a panelist for the “Heritage, Leadership, and Connection to Community: Impact Stories” session where he highlighted how Ukrainian American and Ukrainian Canadian credit unions provide essential financial services including the ability to establish credit upon arrival into the country. His presentation addressed the importance of being active in and championing, community organizations. Joining Anatoli were global credit union colleagues from Brazil and Kenya.   Representatives from the various Ukrainian credit unions had an opportunity to meet with Elissa McCarter LaBorde, CEO of the World Council of Credit Unions (WOCCU).   In the afternoon, the President of the All-Ukrainian Credit Union Association, Olga Tuhai, shared stories from Ukraine at the “Standing Up & Standing By: Credit Union Relief & Resiliency through Project Storm Break” session.   The Ukrainian Selfreliance Federal Credit Union is grateful to be in Boston with leaders from the Ukrainian American Credit Union Association (Ukrainian Federal Credit Union and Selfreliance Federal Credit Union), Council of Ukrainian Credit Unions of Canada (Ukrainian Credit Union Limited and BCU Financial), All-Ukrainian Credit Union Association, and the Anisia Credit Union from Lviv, Ukraine.   #wcuc2024

On Friday, July 12th, we joined 14 other local credit unions to bring food and monetary donations to the Philabundance Hunger Relief Center in South Philadelphia in a project led by TruMark Financial Credit Union.   Essential food items like cereal, canned vegetables, pasta, peanut butter, jelly, and canned tuna were gathered, supporting those in need across a nine-county service area in Southeastern Pennsylvania and Southern New Jersey. Together, our team of credit unions collected and donated 2,795 pounds of food, equating to 2,329 meals! Along with food donations, nearly $22,000 was generously donated as well.    We are always thrilled and thankful to work with fellow credit unions.

Cooperative Voices and Ukraine Last night, our CEO, Anatoli Murha, and Oleg Lebedko, CEO of Ukrainian Federal Credit Union, represented the Ukrainian American Credit Union Association and the World Council of Ukrainian Cooperatives at the "Cooperative Voices" event in Washington DC at the International Spy Museum hosted by the Worldwide Foundation for Credit Unions (WFCU). Pictured with Anatoli and Oleg are Alisa Stetsyshyn, a WFCU Grant Consultant, and Mike Reuter, Executive Director of the WFCU. The WFCU has been a staunch supporter of credit unions in Ukraine since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Alisa, a Ukrainian national, spoke to the audience about the resilience of Kharkiv, Ukraine, in the last two years and how a new pilot program for credit unions is supporting individuals and entrepreneurs.

This afternoon, we had the pleasure of hosting Maskym Stolyarevsky and Andrij Potichnij from the Ukrainian World Congress - Свiтовий Конґрес Українців (UWC). They gave a brief presentation on the work that the UWC has been doing since 1967 to support Ukraine globally. They also shared some insights on the ongoing fight for freedom and the future development of Ukraine.   Currently, they are in the Philadelphia region for an event called "Непереможні, коли обʼєднані - Invincible When United" charity tour, which is a collaboration between the UWC and Serhiy Prytula.   Through the "Unite with Ukraine" initiative, the UWC has provided over $50 million and essential protective and medical equipment to Ukraine's defenders on the front lines.   If you're interested, you can order tickets for tonight's event at St Michael the Archangel Ukrainian Catholic Church in Jenkintown, PA. https://lnkd.in/eD4FF8Ap   UKRFCU is a proud sponsor of this event.
