April 6, 2023Why Volunteering Matters in Your Local Community 

Hi, it’s me, Alyssa, your community connection, and boy has it been a busy start to the year! 😊 

 

I bet you’re wondering why it’s so important for an organization to give back to its local community. People are more likely to be loyal to organizations that give back to their community, whether it be through volunteerism, monetary donations, or event sponsorships. 

While philanthropy is admirable, it also increases brand awareness. Working with other organizations expands our network and gets our credit union name and logo out in the public eye, where you typically wouldn’t see it otherwise. This is beneficial for member growth and loyalty.  

What do you think? When choosing a product or service, does a business’s philanthropy and community footprint matter to you? Let us know what you think!  

Until next time!
