February 23, 2008 by morganwrites. How welfare began in the United States. During the Great Depression of the 1930s, local and state governments as well as private charities were overwhelmed by needy families seeking food, clothing, and shelter.

In 1937, nine state employees each invested $5 to start the State Board of Health Employees Credit Union for what was then the Florida State Board of Health. In 1950, a few people invested $301 to create the Florida State Welfare Board Employees Credit Union. Each group of charter members came together with one common goal: to establish a member-owned cooperative that would provide a safe place to grow their savings and provide a stable, low-cost source for loans.
