Community Engagement at STAR Financial Credit Union
Connecting with Our Community, Building Stronger Bonds
At STAR Financial Credit Union, our commitment extends beyond financial services; we are deeply embedded in the life and growth of our community. We actively participate in and sponsor events that enrich our neighborhood, support local businesses, and provide educational opportunities. Here’s how we’re involved:
Upcoming Community Events
- Muffins for Moms: We want to let you know that we appreciate your membership. Both locations will be providing muffins with coffee for all STAR Financial moms on May 8th starting at 9 AM.
Ongoing Initiatives
- School Partnership Programs: We partner with local schools to provide students with real-world financial education, helping them prepare for a financially sound future.
- Volunteer Days: Our team regularly volunteers at food banks, shelters, and other nonprofit organizations. We encourage all members to join us in making a difference.
Past Events Highlight
- National Credit Union Youth Month: This past April, the Credit Union participated in National Credit Union Youth Month with a coloring contest and Youth Savings Campaign. We appreciate all of the children that submitted a coloring page in the hopes to win a prize full of goodies. We are also excited for those that opened a Youth Savings with the $5 opening deposit waived. It is never too early to start saving for your future!
- Easter Egg Hunt: In addition to NCUYM, the Credit Union hosted their first ever Easter Egg Hunt at the West Guth pavilion. We had a great turnout and enjoyed spending time with the families in our community.
