“Our mission at Veterans Community Project of Saint Louis is only possible because of community partners who stand shoulder to shoulder with us. Arsenal Credit Union is exactly that kind of partner. Their $20,000 contribution through the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines Member Impact Fund is more than a donation. It's an investment in the men and women who answered our nation's call. As a Veteran who served 11 years in the U.S. Army, I know firsthand what it means to see a community show up like this. Arsenal Credit Union hasn't just given to our mission. They've become part of it, and for that, we are deeply grateful.” - Deshauna Barber-Echols, Executive Director of Veterans Community Project.
