Community Outreach

The mutual banking difference can be seen every day in the communities we serve. We’re always asking, “How can we help improve lives?”

We Are Connected to Our Communities

As a mutual bank, community outreach is the way we do business. You’ll find our Community Outreach team providing financial education, supporting non-profit organizations, and staying on top of what the community needs to flourish. 

Some of the Ways We Stay Connected Include:

  • Financial literacy workshops, classes and seminars
  • Volunteering at schools
  • Supporting local businesses and organizations
  • Partnering with community organizations

For even more bank news and community events, follow us on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube

We Are a Proud BankOn Financial Partner

BankOn ensures all individuals have access to a safe and affordable bank account. From financial education to banking products, our partnership helps raise awareness for underbanked communities, helping those individuals on the path to financial success.
