Carolina Trust Gives Back to Local First Responders, Veteran Business
The Carolina Trust Federal Credit Union Marketing Team set out to give back to local first responders. Brand Ambassador, Always, August, and Marking Liaison, Briana Harvath, delivered baskets of goodies, juices, and coffee to two fire stations in Carolina Forest as a way to say “thank you” for their service to the community during the recent wildfires affecting the area.
In addition, a donation was made to Dive Thru Brew, a veteran owned business that offered free coffee to first responders during the height of the wildfire, despite being in business for only a month.
“We are so thankful for the service of our first responders and other businesses in our community who put people ahead of profits!” -Tim Carlisle, Carolina Trust President/CEO
It’s that time of year again. WMBF has started taking nominations for their Best of the Grand Strand contest. We'd love for you to nominate Carolina Trust Federal Credit Union as BEST BANK/MORTGAGE company on the Grand Strand.
Votes are cast via email address so that you can send in one nomination for Carolina Trust as Best Bank, per email address, per day. Only the top five nominees will move on to the official voting round, so nominations are super important. The nomination period will end on 4/13 at the end of the day and the official voting round will begin on 5/7.
You can find Carolina Trust under the Services category> Bank and Services category> Mortgage.
You can nominate daily, so please continue to support your credit union by nominating us each day in both categories. We thank you in advance for your support continuing to do so!
