Community Involvement

2011 Food Drive

Click to enlargeService 1 FCU partnered together with 14 other area credit unions to provide assistance to local hunger relief organizations which help struggling neighborhood families. The 2011 Credit Union Food Drive collected over 11,000 pounds of food and had a positive impact on the community.

"The Credit Union Food Drive exceeded our expectations and we received more food and more variety than ever before. The food will fulfill a huge need in the area especially during these hard economic times" said Gail Kraft, Director of Love Inc.

Community members helped provide needy families with food by dropping off any non-perishable items to the following participating credit unions of the MOON Chapter during November and December 2011. Charlene Church, Community Ministries Coordinator stated "The Mission Pantry shelves are well stocked thanks to your generosity. Your donations are making a significant difference in our ability to provide for the less fortunate - and in a time when everyone is feeling the economic pinch. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Thank you to our members and the community for your outstanding support of the 2011 Credit Union Food Drive.

United Way Day of Caring

Service 1 Federal Credit Union joined the United Way for their Annual Day of Caring Event on September 9, 2011. This year’s event was a huge success. With over 800 volunteers participating at the future site of West Michigan Therapy and Mullally Park, the United Way reports this to be the Lakeshore’s largest Day of Caring ever. Our team of three, Megan Vendal, Jamie Streit, and Josh Croff, helped with cutting and installing drywall in rooms that will soon be occupied by women and children in need of a safe and secure place to stay. The turn-out was inspiring. It was great to see our community come together in such numbers to support community preservation efforts and to see the impact of just one Day of Caring.

Employees of Service 1 FCU- Jen Czarnopys and Angela Barajas- participated in the 2011 Run for Sight on September 3, 2011.

We Surpassed Our Goal- Thanks to YOU!

Service 1 Federal Credit Union staff and volunteers participated in the Annual Muskegon Walk for Diabetes on June 5, 2010. Our credit union raised over $4,300.00 and with the collaboration of five other area credit unions, over $12,000 was raised for this great cause!

A special thank you to all of you who helped us surpass our goal. We could not do it without you!
