Homefield Credit Union
Employees and families from Homefield CU came together to participate in the 20th Annual UMass Cancer Walk & Run. Raising $3,000, all proceeds went directly to help support the research, clinical trials, and patient care.
WesTex Federal Credit Union
Learning that some children go home without the basic essentials, WesTex FCU didn’t have the heart to push this issue aside. Thinking about the future generation, the WesTex FCU team came together to help replenish the Pirate Pantry at Lubbock-Cooper East Elementary School.
“The Pantry’s ultimate goal is to help each child with the best possible chance to succeed. Charnese Perez is in charge of the program, which serves all eight campuses within the Lubbock-Cooper school district. Donations from community members are accepted, so the next time you are at the grocery store, Costco, or Sam’s, pick up an extra item or two and take it by the Pirate Pantry.”
Greater Iowa Credit Union
Proud to help create a #CUdifference, Greater Iowa CU donated $1,000 and helped support one of the state’s largest nonprofit human services agencies, Lutheran Services in Iowa.
“OUR VALUES:
UNITE: Together we are stronger. We can achieve greater impact by supporting, celebrating, and trusting each other and our community. RESPECT: Every person is a unique gift of God, worthy of being treated with humility, empathy, and integrity.
GROW: We create a culture of continuous learning and innovation to uplift one another and those we serve.
EMPOWER: We give voice to those who are not heard, advocate for social justice, and encourage people to achieve greatness.” Lutheran Services in Iowa
American First Credit Union

GCS Credit Union
Nothing better than joining together to help create a #CUmovement. GCS CU’s employees helped raise $1,031 to go towards The BackStoppers.
“The BackStoppers support families of fallen heroes by paying off all debt, providing health and dental insurance, reimbursing for out-of-pocket medical expenses, and assisting with tuition and education costs from daycare through university.
The BackStoppers supports approximately 80 families with 65 dependent children. They have supported more than 160 families since 1959 and provide roughly $1.5 million in assistance annually.” The BackStoppers, Inc.
