Giving Back

Giving back to our community is one of MSUFCU's core values and part of the "people helping people" philosophy on which credit unions were founded. At MSUFCU, we are committed to making a positive impact on as many people as possible and investing in our community to help create a place where people are proud to live, work, and visit.
