by Emily Hechler ST. LOUIS (November 4, 2024) – Alltru Credit Union, a leading Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) in the Greater St. Louis area, has expanded their Employee Wellness Benefits Program this year to include five new employee partnerships. Alltru serves these St. Louis-based businesses by providing their employees with comprehensive, convenient at-work financial resources.
“We’re thrilled to support these amazing St. Louis businesses in their mission of building a more stable, thriving workforce,” said Tracy Verner, Community Development Manager at Alltru Credit Union. “By partnering with employers, we empower their hard-working employees to overcome financial challenges that might inhibit their ability to remain gainfully employed. At-work Financial Wellness Programs ensure everyone has access to essential financial products that might otherwise be out of reach. They strengthen employees, families and our entire community, and we’re proud to be a part of that!”
In the third quarter, Alltru partnered with the St. Louis Development Corporation, Storyboard Living, Didion Orf Recycling, Employment Connection, and CMT, LLC.
St. Louis Development Corporation (SLDC), the City of St. Louis’s independent economic development agency, is dedicated to fostering minority and small business empowerment, neighborhood and community transformation, industry and business development, and real estate development. As SLDC advances the St. Louis area, it is now also enhancing its employees’ financial well-being through resources provided by Alltru.
Storyboard Living in the St. Louis Metro East provides convenient and large apartments for their customers. Storyboard Living boasts 18 communities, allowing them to serve many families in the St. Louis area. Because of their partnership with Alltru, Storyboard Living’s employees will now have access to financial wellness benefits as they support a great living environment for the community.
Didion Orf Recycling was established in 2001 and recycles customers’ materials as an R2v3/RIOS Certified electronics and metals recycler. Employees of Didion Orf Recycling in St. Peters can now take out affordable emergency loans thanks to their partnership with Alltru.
