On this #WorldDayofSocialJustice we recommit ourselves to our mission to serve the underserved and to seek opportunities to provide opportunities to the most vulnerable in our communities. We will continue to find ways to say yes, when traditional financial institutions can say only no. We will continue to provide access to a financial system that in many ways has abandoned those who need it the most. We will provide hope to those seeking a better life free from the oppression of predatory lenders and financial insecurity. We will help break the cycles of poverty and dependence and empower members to provide a better future for themselves and their families. We invite you to join us. "For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me."
