PenFed continues to invest in the future of Puerto Rico by providing financial education to over 5,000 public and private school students
TYSONS, Va., April 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — PenFed Credit Union and Everfi hosted an interactive learning event focused on improving financial literacy for over 50 12th grade students at Anita Otero Hernandez Specialized School of Fine Arts in Humacao, Puerto Rico on April 9. The students recently completed the “Tu Dinero, Tu Sueño” (“Your Money, Your Dreams”) program, a scalable digital financial education curriculum provided by PenFed through a strategic partnership with Everfi, the trusted leader in connecting businesses and communities through personal finance and essential life-skills education.
“PenFed is dedicated to empowering the next generation in Puerto Rico to achieve their financial dreams,” said PenFed President and CEO James Schenck. “We continue our commitment to investing in the development of future leaders on the island and appreciate the partnership of Everfi and Anita Ortero Hernandez School as we advance financial literacy and support students in building a brighter future for themselves and their communities.”
PenFed and Everfi have had a strategic partnership for the past seven years to bring critical financial education to over 5,000 public and private K-12 school students in 46 schools across Puerto Rico at no cost to the schools. PenFed provides students with access to Everfi’s proven curriculum teaching them how to make smart financial decisions and achieve success in life. The program teaches students about savings and checking, building and maintaining healthy credit, planning for major purchases, investing and retirement, and funding higher education.
PenFed leaders, including PenFed financial center managers, wealth managers, Bank Secrecy Act department and mortgage managers participated in a “speed networking” activity with students who recently completed the Everfi financial education program. During the activity, students had the opportunity to ask PenFed leaders and community volunteers questions as part of small group conversations tying back to the critical skills taught in the curriculum.
This year’s financial literacy event is the sixth PenFed and Everfi have held in Puerto Rico, and the first in Humacao. In previous years, PenFed held events at both private and public schools in San Juan and Ponce.
Following these activities, PenFed announced two students were awarded a scholarship in the amount of $1,250 in recognition of their work throughout the Tu Dinero, Tu Sueño program.
“When we talk about financial education, we’re really talking about giving young people the confidence to make decisions that shape their future,” said Ray Martinez, CEO of Everfi. “What makes this partnership with PenFed so meaningful is that it goes beyond the classroom. Students are getting real conversations, real guidance, and a clearer sense of what’s possible for themselves and their communities.”
PenFed currently serves members in Puerto Rico with financial centers in Humacao, San Juan, Hatillo, Ponce, Mayagüez and on the United States Army Garrison Fort Buchanan. PenFed also operates a Bilingual Service Center in Guaynabo and employs over 150 teammates on the island.

ORANGE COUNTY, Calif., April 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — OC Waste & Recycling (OCWR) invites Orange County residents to a countywide Community Compost Giveaway on Saturday, April 18, from 7:30 a.m. to noon, while supplies last. The annual event offers residents free, ready-to-use compost produced from green waste collected throughout Orange County.
“Green waste collected from homes across Orange County can be transformed into nutrient-rich compost that benefits our communities,” said Tom Koutroulis, Director of OC Waste & Recycling. “By recycling organic materials, we improve soil health, conserve water, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Our Compost Giveaway event supports compliance with Senate Bill 1383 and helps reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills. Earth Day is a reminder that small actions at home can make a meaningful difference.”
Free compost will be available at three OCWR locations:
- Bee Canyon Greenery (Frank R. Bowerman Landfill), 11002 Bee Canyon Access Rd., Irvine
- Valencia Greenery (Olinda Alpha Landfill), 1942 N. Valencia Ave., Brea
- Capistrano Greenery (Prima Deshecha Landfill), 32250 Avenida La Pata, San Juan Capistrano
At the Irvine and San Juan Capistrano locations, residents should bring their own containers or heavy-duty yard waste bags and a shovel to load compost. At the Brea location, prefilled bags will be distributed and limited to four bags per household, while supplies last.
OCWR’s compost carries the Seal of Testing Assurance (STA) from the U.S. Composting Council, confirming that it meets strict safety and quality standards. The nutrient-rich material is ideal for backyards, gardens, and landscaping projects.
Additionally, OCWR compost and mulch are certified by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) and are OMRI Listed, confirming compliance with the USDA National Organic Program.

NEW ORLEANS, April 7, 2026 /3BL/ – Entergy today announced the publishing of its 2025 Performance Report, “Energy for a Better Future,” detailing the company’s achievements last year and the strategic priorities guiding its path forward on behalf of customers and communities. The report includes financial performance as well as updates on local economic development, environmental stewardship, support for the communities we serve and governance practices that support positive outcomes for all stakeholders.
“After a dynamic and productive 2025, Entergy continues to advance the energy solutions our customers and communities depend on,” said Drew Marsh, Entergy chair and chief executive officer. “From modernizing the electric grid to expanding generation resources, we are committed to partnering with our stakeholders to shape a more resilient and sustainable energy future.”
Highlights from 2025 include:
Driving growth in our region. We are an engaged partner in economic development for our region, helping attract or expand 85 economic projects last year. These projects represent a capital investment in local communities by companies totaling more than $77 billion and more than 12,000 new jobs. In support of that growth, we added electric service agreements totaling more than 3.5 gigawatts last year.
Maintaining a resilient power grid. We’re actively at work on projects designed to deliver more reliable power — fewer outages and faster restoration when needed — to our customers. Through the end of 2025, our operating companies have invested more than $800 million in approved accelerated resilience projects.
Strengthening affordability for our customers. We are committed to keeping bills as low as possible for all our customers, especially for those who struggle financially. We promote energy efficiency initiatives that help individual customers save money by reducing their usage. This includes energy audits, incentives, rebates and products to make people’s homes or businesses more energy efficient. Our Bill Toolkit empowers customers with resources and available assistance options to help them more easily manage their energy bills.
Empowering our communities. Giving back to our communities, and empowering them, is at the core of our mission. Our focus on corporate social responsibility last year made a meaningful difference in the lives of our customers and communities, resulting in an economic impact of more than $145 million across our service area. Our dedicated employees were vital to this success, contributing 169,000 hours of volunteer service, valued at $5.8 million. That highlight of our commitment was reinforced by being recognized by Points of Light as an honoree of The Civic 50 for the 10th consecutive year, leading the way in employee volunteerism and community investment.
Delivering on our financial commitments. Our 2025 adjusted earnings per share was $3.91, in the top half of our guidance range. We are investing in our power delivery system to improve reliability and resilience, and we are expanding our clean, modern generation to support rapidly growing industrial load and the clean energy goals necessary for our customers.
Explore the report to read about our progress and learn how we’re delivering energy for a better future.
