Come see what TORCH has happening this week at Tennessee Members 1st Federal Credit Union!

We truly appreciate this partnership. 😊

We're excited to have TORCH in our Oak Ridge Branch this week!

TORCH works to help individuals experiencing homelessness find stable, affordable housing through a Housing First approach. By focusing on housing as the first step, they help connect people with the support and resources needed to move forward.

Stop by the branch anytime this week to learn more about their work in the community and ways to get involved. Representatives will also be in branch on Thursday, June 18, to answer questions and share additional information.

We're grateful for community partners like TORCH who help create pathways to stability, support, and opportunity for our neighbors.
