Nuvision Credit Union is helping frontline medical
workers and small restaurant owners through the COVID-19 Crisis
Huntington Beach, Calif., April 16, 2020 - In the
midst of the Coronavirus crisis, Nuvision Credit Union has never lost sight of
their core mission or values. For over 85 years Nuvision has been serving
hard-working people who are the backbone of our country; now, they are serving
those who are serving us all during our time of need.
Nuvision Credit Union is
launching its NuvisionCares initiative, a program that will provide meals from
local restaurants to our heroes on the frontlines of the COVID-19 battle. The
NuvisionCares initiative is designed to help provide a little bit of normalcy
and peace of mind for our frontline medical heroes during one of the most
challenging times they have ever faced.
“These people are heroes, who even during normal times work
incredibly long stressful hours in jobs where they are rarely recognized for
their hard work,” said Roger Ballard, CEO of Nuvision Credit Union. “The
NuvisionCares initiative gives our vital caregivers one less thing to think
about when they come home to their families.”
Starting April 13th, Nuvision will kick off the program at
CHOC Children’s Hospital in Orange County. Doctors, nurses, and other frontline
medical professionals from CHOC will be given free meals up to $25 that they
can order at five participating restaurants near the hospital. On top of giving
our frontline caregivers a little needed relief, the program will provide
much-needed support and income to employees at these five local small
businesses who will benefit as a result of the NuvisionCares initiative.
The five restaurants that will participate in the
NuvisionCares program are Rib Trader, Tutto Fresco, Don Jefe Jalapenos,
Cortina's Italian Eatery, and Amarith Café.
“Nuvision Credit Union really helped us to be able to take
care of our employees during their time of need. Because of the NuvisionCares
program, we were able to bring our crew back in and give them the ability to
earn some vital extra income,” said Mehdi Karr owner of Rib Trader in Orange,
California.
“We didn’t want to launch yet another television commercial
or PSA telling people that we care, we wanted to take that money and go fight
this thing out on the frontlines where it can really make a difference,” said
Tom Sweet, SVP of Marketing at Nuvision Credit Union. “Our healthcare workers
are making enormous sacrifices for us, if we can help make their day a little
brighter then that’s what we are going to do.”

program you can visit the webpage at https://nuvisionfederal.com/blog/blog-post/memberresources/2020/04/13/nuvisioncares.
If you would like to get involved or make a donation to help expand the
program, Nuvision has a GoFundMe campaign where they will use 100% of the
donations to help more healthcare heroes and local small restaurants. They are
also asking people to help raise awareness by using the hashtag #NuvisionCares
on social media.
Nuvision Credit Union will be bringing the NuvisionCares
program to Cheyenne, Wyoming and Anchorage, Alaska where they will be buying
meals for doctors, nurses and medical workers at Providence Hospital in
Anchorage and Cheyenne Regional Medical Center. This is just one of several
community initiatives that Nuvision Credit Union has launched to help the
communities they serve through the COVID-19 Pandemic.
While some credit unions have struggled to launch the Small
Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program, Nuvision was ready and
up and running from day one and has already begun approving a significant
number of SBA PPP loans. In addition to the hugely successful SBA program, they
also launched a webinar series to help people adjust to the crisis by providing
valuable economic experts to members with their financial security and help
ensure future success.
