An ATM has arrived at the Community First! Village

Residents of the Community First! Village in East Austin unwrapped an early Christmas present last week thanks to the folks at Netspend, a local financial services company. The company donated an ATM to the affordable, permanent housing community's village store, where residents sell their artwork, handmade crafts, and other gifts. It's a timely gift for the Community First! residents, in addition to the merchants who've still got a week until the true end of Christmas shopping season.
