In Our Community
We are active members of our communities. As a truly local financial institution, how we invest and operate directly affects our members and our communities. We take this responsibility seriously, and make only the best decisions for where we live, work, and play. We are committed to building the best possible future for all our members and potential members.
Our success is directly related to the success of our communities, that's why our profits stay in the local area, reinvested in our local economies. Valley Credit Union is committed to giving back, supporting local suppliers and businesses and volunteering time and effort to local initiatives.
It's not only about writing a cheque, it's also about us rolling up our sleeves and getting involved.
Valley Credit Union staff and Board keep busy during the year supporting many events and associations. We make donations, participate in relays, volunteer our time, bake goodies for sales, sell raffle tickets, and hold BBQs all to help raise funds for valuable causes.
Youth-they are our future. We feel it's important to educate them and support their various ventures. Therefore to better equip them for the future, credit unions have provided high schools a Free financial literacy program to teach in the classroom on how to manage their financial future.
