A cash mob hit a local restaurant in Oshkosh, Wis., courtesy of the $384 million CitizensFirst Credit Union.

The event was a first for the credit union's NextGen program, which combines financial education and community outreach as a way to experience rather than just talk about the cooperative nature of credit unions.

More than 40 NextGen members ages 15 to 25 spread the word and surprised the staff at Lara's Tortilla Flats on their slowest night. Each of the cash mob members were given $10 to spend at the local eatery and were joined by members, credit union employees and their families.
