CU Community Days October 13-17: Pledge to Participate Today!
For the third annual CU Community Days, Wisconsin’s credit unions can showcase their positive impact and how they embody the cooperative principles of Cooperation Among Cooperatives and Concern for Community! Looking for ideas of how to participate? We suggest activities that address food insecurity through volunteerism, charitable giving, food drives, or offering financial well-being resources.
The week-long event kicks off on Indigenous’ Peoples Day and, this year, coincides with International Credit Union Day and our year-long celebration of the United Nations’ International Year of Cooperatives. Several other state leagues also host community outreach events during October, making this a great opportunity to increase visibility of The Credit Union Difference nationwide.
If your credit union has or is thinking of planning community service activities during the week of October 13-17, 2025, take the pledge today! Your commitment will help The League elevate your efforts and track our collective impact.
Please pledge by September 19 to help us plan and ensure your receipt of any swag before CU Community Days Begins!
