Celebrate International Credit Union Day® with Community Projects
International Credit Union Day® (ICU Day) unites credit unions worldwide to celebrate their cooperative heritage and achievements while promoting the global credit union movement. This year, we honor ICU Day by implementing community projects that make a difference. Join forces with other credit unions in your area to participate in local beautification efforts, sponsor charity runs, host bicycle safety clinics, and support social service agencies. Engaging in these collaborative activities not only strengthens community bonds but also highlights the positive impact of credit unions working together. Celebrate ICU Day by giving back and demonstrating the cooperative spirit of credit unions!
