Holiday Dinners distributed by New Orleans Firemen’s FCU

New Orleans Firemen’s Federal Credit Union collected and distributed 60 holiday meal baskets in their Bogalusa and Lockport communities. Firemen’s Federal has an active presence in Bogalusa and Lockport and is the primary community development financial institution serving these underserved communities.


This endeavor was possible due to the generosity and compassion of Firemen’s Federal Credit Union and their partner Kasasa, Ltd. Vouchers for turkeys were donated by Kasasa, and Firemen’s Federal employees collected, packed, and distributed the meal baskets. Each basket was packed to feed a family of five and contained the turkey voucher, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, green beans, yams, desert, and other items needed to provide a complete holiday feast.

“The last two years fighting to survive a pandemic, and this past August’s devastating hurricane, have taken a toll on our population. It has created emotional and financial strain, uncertainty, and stress on underserved family units. This is especially hard during the holiday season.

Knowing how serious food insecurity is in Louisiana, we are honored to have the privilege to give back in this small way to our communities,” said Firemen’s Federal CEO Judy DeLucca.

New Orleans Firemen’s Federal Credit Union is a full-service financial institution serving over 26,000 members across Louisiana and Mississippi, and the second oldest federally insured credit union. As a certified Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), New Orleans Firemen’s Federal Credit Union proudly serves the underserved and brings a full array of financial service products to communities that have been underbanked and excluded by mainstream financial institutions.

  Immediate Release October 09, 2025 WASHINGTON  —Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) issued answers to  four Frequently Asked Questions  (FAQs) to clarify certain requirements related to suspicious activity reports (SARs). By issuing these FAQs, FinCEN is ensuring financial institutions are not needlessly expending resources on efforts that do not provide law enforcement and national security agencies with the critical information they need to detect, combat, and deter criminal activity. FinCEN issued the FAQs jointly with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the National Credit Union Administration, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. “SARs should deliver better outcomes by providing law enforcement the most useful information—not by overwhelming the system with noise,” said  Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence John...

Banking During and After COVID-19

Before COVID-19, the banking industry was experiencing an unprecedented period of growth and prosperity. Despite increasing consumer expectations and increased competition from non-traditional financial institutions, most banks and credit unions were stronger than at any period since the financial crisis of 2008. In a matter of only a few weeks, the world of banking has experienced a level of disruption that will change everything that had been the norm in financial services. There has not only been a major change in the way financial institutions conduct business but in the way, employees do their work and the way consumers manage their finances. Banks and credit unions must use this time of disruption to consider reinventing themselves from the inside out. It is a time when we need to better understand the way consumers expect their financial institution to support their financial needs. This includes the way banks and credit unions use data, AI, technology and human resources t...
