Credit Unions – Individual service, united in focus

As locally-owned not-for-profit financial cooperatives, credit unions hold a strong belief in giving back to their communities. Twenty-three chapters across Illinois unite 303 credit unions and are integral to fulfilling the financial need for nearly three million consumer members.

The Rockford Area Chapter alone serves 11 credit unions and their 88,000 members in a four county area. Similar to other credit union chapters, Rockford strongly believes in supporting their communities and collaborates on a year-round marketing campaign to facilitate making a difference.

With October designated as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the chapter’s latest community effort will be to sponsor the 4th Annual Pink Party/Bra Auction. This event raises money for Pink Heals of Winnebago County, a local non-profit organization that helps families dealing with cancer. All of the money donated to Pink Heals will stay local, just like credit unions. The chapter’s sponsorship can also be seen in a Rockford firefighter calendar sale, with 100 percent of the proceeds donated to Pink Heals.

Giving back to their members, causes and the communities they serve – this is the credit union difference.
