Making Long-Lasting Impacts Beyond the Branch
Since 1967, Wauna Credit Union and our employees have rolled up their sleeves and worked directly within our beloved Columbia River community. We are proud to support a variety of charities, organizations, and local events, across a wide range of initiatives.
Commitment to the community
We proudly support a variety of local charities and community programs because helping our neighbors is part of the Wauna Credit Union way. Our employees are deeply involved, volunteering their time and energy to local events and organizations throughout the year.
Each year, Wauna CU also selects a nonprofit to support through creative fundraising efforts like employee raffles, candy sales, and our popular “Jeans Day” program, where team members donate for the chance to dress down and give back.
Curious about our contributions?
We support higher education efforts through our Annual Scholarship opportunity.
