Values and Purpose - Living Our Values

Superior people, products and services for the co-operative spirit.

We support our customers and the communities in which we work by living the co-operative values of the credit union system.

Co-operative values are based on the values of self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity and solidarity. In the tradition of their founders, co-operative members believe in the ethical values of honesty, openness, social responsibility and caring for others.

    2nd Principle: Democratic member control
    3rd Principle:  Member economic participation
    4th Principle:  Autonomy and independence

Helping Neighbours

Apple Day

This year marks the 10-year anniversary of our famous Apple Day, where more than 300 local social service and community agencies pick 800 bushels of Spy, McIntosh, Red Delicious and Granny Smith apples at our headquarters, located on a 150 acre apple orchard. Worth more than $15,000, the apples are used to feed hungry children or to sell wonderful apple pies to support local fundraising efforts.
