DNCU News:
SANTA FE – Del Norte Credit Union (DNCU), Northern New Mexico’s hometown financial cooperative, has been assisting member-owners affected by the government shutdown since early January.
DNCU has provided personalized financial assistance to dozens of its members by creating flexible payment plans that are customized to meet the needs of every situation.
If you are a DNCU member that was affected by the government shutdown and would like to speak with one of DNCU’s member solutions representatives, call 505.455.5330 to make an appointment. If you are not a member and need assistance; you also can visit dncu.org or call 505.455.5228 for more eligibility details on the Government Furlough Assistance Plan.
As a community financial cooperative striving to be the ideal partner for a better future, DNCU believes that providing assistance to the community at large can make a big impact. DNCU decided to go beyond financial assistance to members, by partnering with a locals’ favorite restaurant to provide $10 gift cards for federal government employees affected by the furlough. Three DNCU locations will offer gift cards 9 a.m. to noon Jan. 29, for a Taco Tuesday lunch at El Parasol for any federal government employee affected by the government shutdown.
“We understand that these times can be stressful, we’ve heard the stories and want to extend our giving to the communities we serve by being there when it matters most,” DNCU President/CEO Chuck Valenti said. “With this small gesture we would simply like to give thanks to the men and women who are either working without pay or are furloughed and brighten up their day a little. A nice meal goes a long way, and here at DNCU we are your friends and neighbors—we love El Parasol tacos and hope you do, too!”
Federal employees may visit the DNCU locations at the specified times below on Jan. 29 and receive a $10 El Parasol gift card for Taco Tuesday upon presenting a federal government issued ID. Gift cards available while supplies last.
- 9-10 a.m. in Santa Fe at 3286 Cerrillos Road;
