In response to the devastating floods that have impacted communities across Central Texas, the EECU Community Foundation has announced a $50,000 donation to The Pat Green Foundation to aid ongoing recovery and relief efforts.
EECU President and CEO Lonnie Nicholson, who also serves on the board of the EECU Community Foundation, shared the announcement during a live call-in this morning on KSCS 96.3 FM with longtime host Mark "Hawkeye" Louis.
"Our hearts go out to the families and communities affected by these devastating floods," said Nicholson.
"The loss has been unimaginable, and we want those impacted to know they're not alone."
The EECU Community Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is dedicated to supporting the education, health, and well-being of Texans.
Guided by its mission and rooted in community values, the Foundation felt a deep responsibility to respond.
"Like many across the state, we've followed the aftermath of the floods and heard powerful stories of resilience and recovery," said Nicholson.
"At EECU, supporting our neighbors isn't just something we do—it's part of who we are."
The donation also reflects support for country music artist and Texas native Pat Green, whose family was personally affected by the flooding.
In the days following the disaster, Green quickly mobilized support by organizing a benefit concert and launching relief efforts through his foundation.
"Pat Green is not only a friend to so many of us, but someone who truly embodies the spirit of Texas," Nicholson added.
"His leadership and compassion have inspired us, and we're proud to stand with him—and every Texan working to rebuild and recover."

Donations for flood relief are not just a gesture, but concrete support for those who are in trouble. Against this background, you begin to look at regular banking services differently. Recently, for example, I studied https://citizens-bank.pissedconsumer.com/customer-service.html to understand how the bank handles customer requests. As a result, I came to the conclusion that not only the numbers are important - the attitude towards people plays no less a role.
