Community Involvement > Staff in Your Community

At Salmon Arm Savings and Credit Union, we have always taken our role as a community credit union seriously. Our staff and directors are actively involved in communities and programs, which encourage the cultural, social, educational, and physical well being of our members and community.

At Salmon Arm Savings and Credit Union we not only give money, we give of our time. The credit union encourages staff to provide volunteer services to community organizations and service clubs in their own communities. Credit union employees can be seen enthusiastically participating in local festivals and fundraising events, social committees, youth organizations and sports teams.

We are proud of them all.

Listed are a few featured staff initiatives. Return to the section often for community initiative updates and see how the credit union is making a difference in your community.
