Penn East FCU is proud to announce the Milinda Project First Responder Award, honoring the bravery and selfless service of local first responders in Lackawanna, Luzerne, Wayne, and Wyoming Counties, Pennsylvania. This $2,500 award will be granted to one exceptional individual who has made a significant impact on our community. The nominee cannot be directly related to a Penn East employee.
