Adopt-A-Family 2024: Together, We Brought Holiday Cheer!

At FFCCU, our dedication to serving the community goes beyond providing exceptional financial services to members of the community. Making a real difference in the lives of our members is a crucial principle of the credit union movement. One way we live out this mission is through our charitable initiatives. You know the sweet satisfaction of contributions made through our regular candy bar sales. Last year, our efforts expanded with the first Adopt-A-Family donation drive. Once again, our community came together with sensational seasonal enthusiasm for Adopt-A-Family 2024.

In the final few months of the year, we teamed up with our friends at The Littlest Heroes, a foundation that supports entire families facing the unthinkable challenges of pediatric cancer. During their holiday season giving, families navigating the emotional and financial hardships of childhood cancer share holiday wish lists, and generous donors bring those wishes to life. FFCCU “adopted” six families, inviting our members, teammates, and shared-branching friends to join us in spreading joy and hope.

And wow—did you ever deliver!
