Community Involvement
Here at Monroe Community Credit Union, we understand the importance of supporting our community and local organizations! We do this through a combination of charitable donations, volunteering at community events, and participating on volunteer committees and boards. As a credit union dedicated to supporting our current and potential membership, the focus of our charitable efforts are directed toward enhancing the lives of those who live in the communities we serve.
Volunteer Program
The IMPACT Program, short for Involvement in Meaningful Projects and Community Transformation, is the volunteer initiative at MCCU (Monroe County Credit Union). It is designed to foster teamwork and collaboration among employees as we collectively strive to ignite positive change within our community.
Since the inception of MCCU’s volunteer programs, MCCU employees have dedicated thousands of hours towards various events, leaving behind cherished memories and a positive and meaningful impact on the people in our community. These events have encompassed a diverse range, from charity walks to trade shows and Quartermanias. Volunteerism lies at the heart of MCCU's mission to enhance the quality of life in Monroe County, and IMPACT plays a pivotal role in our credit union's commitment to the community.
The IMPACT Program is more than just a volunteer effort—it's an embodiment of credit union’s belief in "people helping people." Through this program, we aim to leave a lasting, positive imprint on the communities we serve.
