My wife is a front-line nurse and said WECU provided lunches for every hospital              today. When I went to pick up the owner told me that WECU had placed an order
employee from 7 different local businesses today. I want to let you know how much            for first responders from them as well. She was so happy and appreciative that
she appreciated it. It actually brought her to tears when she was telling me about it. So,   WECU was helping its business members in this way.
to whoever is in charge of that, a HUGE thank you.
