Security Alert:

While most people know the dangers of sharing information such as your Social Security Number or Account Information, another data set is just as crucial to protect: your phone number and email address. We give this out without a second thought to receive loyalty rewards or use services such as Uber.

However, these seemingly harmless pieces of information are often used as keys to unlock access to online accounts, including services like Zelle and other financial platforms. Learn more about protecting your accounts.

Kindness in the Community

St. Augustine Youth Services - SAYS

Our team had the privilege of volunteering with our partner St. Augustine Youth Services - SAYS, lending a helping hand to refresh and beautify their campus!
 
Our Kindness Crew was all smiles repainting the bedroom doors of SAYS' youngest residents and adding some fresh paint to the porch areas. They even rolled up their sleeves to complete edging around the playground!
 
For more information on how you can support our Community First Cares Foundation partner and their important work - from youth residential homes, mobile response team, and more, please visit their website.
