First Federal Bank of Louisiana is proud to announce the recipients of its 2025 Eagle Giving Fund, which is the bank’s employee-driven charitable giving program that supports local nonprofits across Southwest and Central Louisiana. Through the program, employees voluntarily contribute a portion of their paycheck with the bank providing a partial match to maximize the community impact.

This year’s Eagle Giving Fund donations totaled a record amount and reflects a growing employee participation and commitment to giving back. Care Help of Sulphur received $7,100 while the Family Justice Center in Alexandria received $1,000. Care Help of Sulphur has provided short-term assistance and life changing programs to families in Southwest Louisiana for over 40 years. The Family Justice Center in Alexandria provides comprehensive support to the survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, and child abuse.

Additionally, First Federal Bank of Louisiana has announced the nonprofits to benefit from the 2026 Eagle Giving Fund. Next year’s recipients will be the Oasis Women’s Shelter in Lake Charles and the CENLA Homeless Coalition in Alexandria. This continues the bank’s long-standing commitment to support vital community services in the markets it serves.
