Suffolk Credit Union, in collaboration with the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLBNY), has awarded $5,000 grants to 10 local nonprofit organizations through the Small Business Recovery Grant (SBRG) Program. This initiative supports organizations aligned with the Credit Union’s core pillars of giving: military support, civic service, education, and healthcare.
