PrimeWay Federal Credit Union Gives $7,500 in FREE Gas

HOUSTON, TX (July 27, 2022) — On Thursday, July 21, 2022, PrimeWay Federal Credit Union surprised Houston area residents by giving away $7,500 in free gas. PrimeWay partnered with iHeart radio stations in Houston and gave 150 people $50 in gas.

“The current economic climate is really hitting Houstonians hard,” said Annette Zimmerman, President and CEO of PrimeWay. She added, “Being able to help our community in any way possible is something we are proud and obligated to do.”

This gas giveaway is part of PrimeWay’s “Live Positively” campaign, which highlights the credit union’s mission to help people and positively impact local communities. PrimeWay also eliminated Overdraft Fees to help lessen the financial strain on its members. “These events aren’t just helpful to the community; they are motivating for our team,” said Michelle Oshinski, Chief Marketing Officer. Tears were shed when one mother with her toddler in the back seat expressed her gratitude explaining she was going through cancer treatments and with inflation and health expenses, every penny makes a difference in her life. “When you see first hand how much difference even a small contribution makes in a person’s life, you can’t help but ask yourself how can you help them strengthen their financial position,” continued Oshinski. “Our team is energized to be even better at what we do daily each time we host an event like this.”

“Planning events like this allows us to really get involved with our community and get to know what they need. Be on the lookout for more surprises from PrimeWay,” Zimmerman teased.
