FSCNY'S INVOLVEMENT IN
LOCAL COMMUNITIES
(Fact
Sheet PDF)
Supporting Local
Communities Where Our Customers Live and Work
FSCNY members have always taken great pride
in being of, from and for the local communities where their
stores are located.
FSCNY members employ approximately 4,000 New
Yorkers. More than half of these hard-working people are women
and a majority of them represent the minorities that live in the
local community surrounding the local check cashing store. In
fact,
it is one of the hallmark distinctions between our members’
stores and banks. Companies hire local people who speak the same
language as its customers and are open extended hours to meet
the needs of their customers.
In addition to hiring locally, members of
FSCNY take great pride in giving back to their local
communities. In fact, member companies support a wide array of
organizations, such as:
§
Places of worship
§
Special Olympics
§
Local fire and police squads
§
Local public school systems
§
Community-based athletic teams and leagues
§
Community groups
§
Disease research and support groups
§
Homeless shelters
§
Food pantries
This support takes many forms, including
providing financial support, volunteering, and organizing local
activities and fundraisers.
In addition, FSCNY sponsors an
annual scholarship program that recognizes
and supports the region’s best and brightest young scholars, and
mobilized NY's check cashing industry to raise funds for
Haitian relief
efforts after the devastating earthquake in 2010. |
