CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – Fortera Credit Union continues to support soldiers and their families with a contribution of $5,101 during the Army Emergency Relief Kick-Off on February 22, 2017 at the Fort Campbell Division Headquarters Atrium.
Army Emergency Relief (AER), a private, non-profit organization, was established to assist soldiers and their family members in emergency financial situations due to no fault of their own. This assistance is provided in the form of an interest-free loan, grant, or combination of the two.
In 2016, AER helped many soldiers, family members and retirees in the Fort Campbell area with interest free loans and grants.
The AER Campaign runs until May 15, 2017. During this time AER is hoping to receive $250,000 in unsolicited, voluntary contributions from Fort Campbell soldiers and the local community. All contributions are fully tax deductible.
Fortera Credit Union is proud to have helped support this worthy organization for many years.
