Branch Donation Drives
Service CU is always striving to give back to the communities we serve, and one way we support our friends and neighbors is through collection drives at our branches. In 2024 Service CU branches hosted 57 collection drives, spent nearly $13,500 on wish list items, and with our members’ help, donated more than 10,000 items to nonprofits in need.
Take a look at some of the drives that we already held in 2025 and the organizations they supported.
