Helping People, Changing Lives.

At Metro Credit Union, we are committed to making a meaningful impact in the communities we serve. Through our grants, donations, sponsorships, and volunteerism we support initiatives that foster affordable housing, financial wellness, community development, and equitable opportunities for all. Together, we’re building a brighter future for individuals and families across our region.

Empowering Communities Through Giving and Volunteerism

Metro Credit Union is deeply committed to enhancing the well-being of the communities we serve. Our philanthropic efforts are channeled through three primary avenues: Grants, Community Donations, and Event Sponsorships.

Volunteerism is extremely important to our organization. At Metro, we encourage all of our employees to get involved in their communities. Each employee is given additional time off each year to spend helping out at an organization of their choice.
