Putting Our Community... FIRST!
First Service Federal Credit Union is proud to have established the First Service Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, for the benefit of Putting Our Community… FIRST!
First Service Federal Credit Union and its employees have a long history of giving back to the community. The philosophy of “people helping people” stretches beyond our membership and into the communities we serve. Over the years, First Service has been committed to supporting community, civic, educational, and human service organizations.
Employees at First Service are encouraged to support their communities by volunteering their time and talent. Many associates work with and serve on the boards of local charitable organizations, while others participate in events to raise funds for specific causes.
