October 12, 2021

 [ARLINGTON, TEXAS] AlliedFCU's staff is committed to helping the community in which they serve. Through their Casual for a Cause initiative, employees are invited to pay to dress casually during the month to support organizations within these communities. In September Allied FCU raised and donated $290 towards the NEX Foundation.

 “We recognized the need for consistent, positive role models, in the lives of young men, many of which, are being raised in single-parent households. NEX provides personalized support for young men between the ages of 16-20 to help build stronger families, and communities,” said NEX founder Robert Walsh. “We support the next generation of leaders.”

“We believe in programs like NEX that work with the youth in our community and help to develop young leaders,” said Tonia Clark, Allied CEO.

 Community involvement has always been in Allied’s DNA. In fact, Allied likes to tell its members, “We’re not just here for you. We are you.” The credit union’s employees live, work, worship, shop and attend school in the same places their members do. That makes Allied an integral part of the communities they serve.

 Allied Federal Credit Union is headquartered in Arlington, Texas, with branches located in both Arlington and Mansfield. Membership is open to anyone who lives, works, worships or attends school in Arlington, Mansfield, Pantego, and Dalworthington Gardens.
