Community Involvement
Dane County Credit Union
is ­committed to serving our
­communities by supporting local
­non-profit organizations. Over the past
few years, DCCU has partnered with
the road home
DANE COUNTY
The Road Home, an organization that
finds solutions for homeless families.
Our efforts have included collecting
basic items such as cleaning supplies
and toilet paper, giving homes a fresh
coat of paint, and donating funds so
The Road Home can serve their clients.
Staff volunteering for Meals on Wheels.
The DCCU staff is also regularly
­involved with many other non-profit
organizations including delivering
Meals on Wheels, raising money for
United Way and Community Shares,
organizing an annual team to walk
in the March for Babies benefiting
the March of Dimes, participating in
United Way’s Day of Caring, collecting
and donating to “Giving Trees” that
benefit those less f­ ortunate around the
holidays, o
­ rganizing food drives, and
much more.
You’ll notice our staff wearing jeans
on special days throughout the year.
These comfortable-dress days make it
even more worthwhile for our staff to
donate to the particular charity we are
supporting that day.
We have fun with our community
involvement efforts and appreciate
our staff and members who support
what we do. We truly ­appreciate their
generosity.
