The Travis Credit Union Foundation is responding to the COVID-19 public health crisis by raising funds for local service organizations that are providing support and resources to individuals and families impacted by the virus. While suspending business operations and implementing self-quarantine and shelter-in-home practices are necessary to keep the virus from spreading, these changes to our everyday lives have also limited individual and family access to income, food and other critical resources.
