Good morning, friends, it’s your RALtoday team here, feeling the local love after a fun-filled afternoon at Coastal Credit Union’s recent Community Appreciation Day.

Taking place at various branches throughout the year, these free, community-centered events welcome members, future members, and local partners to connect, learn, and celebrate together.

➡️ What we tried

Our team headed to the Holly Springs location for the Friday festivities. When we arrived, the beautiful branch had been set up like a fair, with booths, trucks, decor, and more.

There was so much to do, and we joined fellow locals enjoying:

Our free bags even included a voucher that we traded in at the fresh produce truck for some tasty treats.

🎈 How you can try this
