Credit Unions' Community Involvement Initiatives

Credit unions practice a "People Helping People" philosophy.

An important part of that philosophy is our long history of social responsibility, including the support of charitable and community causes and the promotion of financial literacy.

Virginia's credit unions proudly volunteer thousands of hours and millions of dollars each year to the betterment of their communities and toward the education of consumers.

Sweets 4 Sweethearts Feb. 14

On Feb. 14 (or a day of your choosing in February), credit unions across Virginia are being asked to participate in the League Community Involvement Committee/Credit Unions Care Foundation of Virginia “Sweets 4 Sweethearts” Campaign to raise funds for our local Children’s Miracle Network hospitals. Contributions will also aid Miracle Day Inc. and the Credit Union Cherry Blossom Run in reaching their $1 million fundraising goal in 2011!

Participation is easy ... Simply encourage staff to bring their favorite dessert to the credit union on Feb. 14, or a day of your choosing in February.

Ask members visiting your lobby to make a donation to the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals for a chance to sample all the goodies! Please promote the fact that members unable to visit your branch can still support the cause by donating online. (https://donations.childrensmiraclenetworkhospitals.org)
