Some people talk about doing things, and then there’s the team at Honor Credit Union where they walk the talk and do some remarkable things in and for the communities that they serve.
If you spend any amount of time with a team member from Honor Credit Union, you’ll likely hear the phrase, “We’re committed to giving back to the communities we serve.” And while that might seem like a finely crafted talking point, the sentiment behind the statement is truly a way of life at Honor. In 2019 alone, Honor Team Members provided 2,027 volunteer hours, and the organization donated $499,881 in support to 422 community organizations.
In its recently revealed 2019 Community Impact Report, Honor quantified the give-back efforts of the previous year in a multitude of areas spanning from pet adoptions and shred days to financial assistance and education. The credit union highlighted the $557,963 members earned in checking interest dividends and the $1,780,650 saved by members in auto loan interest. The report also shared the $25,000 in scholarships awarded to high school seniors, and 6,668 students who were offered financial literacy through 18 student credit unions operated by Honor throughout Michigan.
Scott McFarland, CEO at Honor, says, “We are proud to share these numbers because they represent the investment we are able to make back into the people, schools, organizations, and businesses that contribute to the growth and strength of our communities.”
