Volunteers are still needed at each of the five locations of the upcoming Department of Corrections Financial Reality Fairs.
The Pennsylvania Credit Union Foundation is partnering with the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections (DOC) and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities to host Financial Reality Fairs for DOC reentrants in the Erie, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Reading, and Harrisburg Community Corrections Centers (CCC).
All five Fairs will be held on Saturday, October 14, 2017, from 9 a.m. to noon. The Foundation is asking area credit unions to participate by volunteering for this one-of-a-kind Financial Reality Fair.

Please email Kathleen Fey – Kathleen Fey <[email protected]> directly with the names and email addresses of those who would like to volunteer.
