CCU is dedicated to making our local communities better.

When you step back a bit and look at the big picture, you’ll see that credit unions are driven by the philosophy, “people helping people.” Credit unions are places where members pool their savings, lend to one another and own the organization — people helping people. This is how Consumers Credit Union operates. And we take it even further to support our communities.

At the heart of Consumers Credit Union is a dedication to making our local communities better places to live. CCU currently works with the organizations listed below to achieve that goal.

While CCU tries to support as many community events and organizations as possible, we are unable to accommodate all sponsorship applications due to the high volume of requests. We encourage applicants to submit requests in a timely manner and provide as much detail about the event/activity as possible.
