News & events

Stop by our Oak Ridge Branch from 11:00 am - 1:00 pm on Friday, June 27, to visit with representatives from Aid to Distressed Families of Appalachian Counties (ADFAC). Representatives will be onsite with information about the organization, its mission and work throughout our community, and details on how you can become involved.

Aid to Distressed Families of Appalachian Counties (ADFAC) began in the mid 1980’s as a local ecumenical effort to provide assistance to impoverished families. As the broad needs of the low-income community became evident, the faith-based collaborative moved to become a 501(c)(3) public charity in January, 1987. Over the years, ADFAC has honored its roots by developing a broad variety of programs designed to meet unfilled needs in the community and currently answers over 6,000 requests for assistance each year.

ADFAC is a Community Partner of Tennessee Members 1st FCU. We're thankful to partner with various community organizations to spread the People Helping People mission outside of our branch walls and throughout the areas we serve by focusing on education, engagement, and growth.
