A big part of being your community credit union is helping
out wherever we can! Our Community Involvement Guidelines outline the types of organizations we support. If your organziation meets our guidelines and you would like to request support, please complete and return our Donation Request Form.
In addition to financial support
that Fibre Federal Credit Union provides for selected
community events and non-profit organizations, our Community Service Committee staff
each year donate hundreds of hours of their personal time
to a number of worthwhile program, some of which are listed below:
- Nourish our Neighbors food drive involved all the credit unions in Cowlitz County and collected over 2500 pounds of food and raised over $1,350 dollars for Help Warehouse, Woodland Community Center, Kalama Helping Hands and Castle Rock Lions foodbanks.
