Mid Minnesota Federal Credit Union (MMFCU) is dedicated to giving back to the communities we serve. Every quarter, we live out our value of ‘Sense of Community' and the credit union philosophy of People Helping People through our financial education programs, grant committee, social responsibility committees, and scholarships. MMFCU staff spent over 63 hours this quarter teaching financial education in our communities. In April and May, MMFCU provided financial education to Brainerd High School, Brainerd AEC, Pierz High School, Osakis High School, Alexandria High School, and Staples AEC. On May 16, MMFCU facilitated Mad City Money for 50 students at McGregor High School. Throughout June, we facilitated four sessions on Banking Basics for over 40 students through the Central Lake College Upward Bound program. In May, 13 members of the MMFCU Young Professionals Committee spent a day volunteering at Camp Confidence, 10 MMFCU staff participated in Little Falls Day of Caring and 8 MMFCU staff took part in a highway cleanup. MMFCU's grant committee donated $1,500 to the Aitkin Youth Baseball to help fund a new field and $1,500 to the Crow Wing Food Co-op for building updates.
