Soon after a devastating line of tornadoes hit Kentucky and other states Dec. 10, credit union leaders and the Kentucky Credit Union League came together to determine how to help storm victims.

“We’ve been through other events, but not anything near as devastating as how this impacted Kentucky,” says Ray Springsteen, president/CEO of $1.9 billion asset Abound Credit Union in Radcliff, Ky. “When something like this happens, we all come together to help each other.”

No Abound employees were directly impacted, but credit union members and family members saw significant property damage.
