SESLOC Federal Credit Union members and staff raised $7,500 in August to help fund the Jack Ready Imagination Park, a universally accessible park for all children being built in Nipomo.
During SESLOC’s annual month-long campaign, members and staff are encouraged to donate to the park, which is being built by Jack’s Helping Hand, a local nonprofit that provides assistance to children with disabilities, illnesses or severe injuries. Over the past three years, the SESLOC campaign has raised $20,480 for the park.
This year’s campaign coincided with SESLOC’s 75th anniversary of giving back to the community. In addition to providing members lower loan rates and low-cost services, SESLOC also contributes directly to community causes. Recent SESLOC volunteer efforts have benefitted a variety of local charities, including the Food Bank, United Way, local schools and the YMCA, among others.
The Jack Ready Imagination Park will be the only universally accessible park between Los Angeles and San Francisco, featuring themed play structures, a therapeutic equestrian riding center, a sensory garden and more. When completed, it will allow children with disabilities to play alongside able-bodied friends and relatives.
The project is expected to cost between $1 million and $2 million. For more information, visit jackshelpinghand.org.
