Our Caring First team supports happier and healthier communities — and it’s what we have been doing for decades. It’s in line with the credit union's legacy of giving and servicing local programs and partnerships with a social purpose. This includes sponsorships of children’s programs such as CHOC, health-related fundraisers such as American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life, financial wellness through our workshops and teen budgeting events, and many other opportunities to help make our neighboring cities a better place.
