2008 Corporate Charity

Click here to donate today!

Through this internet-based solution, you will be able to make monetary donations to your local food bank so that they can purchase the exact items they need.

Employees of DCCU have chosen to support The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank for 2008. The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank is the local member of America's Second Harvest Network, which is a national association that collects and distributes food to organizations or individuals who cannot feed themselves. Volunteers help gather food through food drives or by working at the food bank to distribute food.

DCCU's goal in supporting a Corporate Charity is to make a real difference for the charitable organization that directly impacts the communities in our Field of Membership. In addition to providing financial support, we will also support the organization with employee volunteers.

DCCU Wins Two Honors
Credit Union Receives Honorable Mention and Second Place Awards

DuPont Community Credit Union has won an Honorable Mention award in the Dora Maxwell Social Responsibility Recognition Award Program for credit unions. The Social Responsibility Recognition Award Program, sponsored by the Virginia Credit Union League (VACUL) and the Credit Union National Association (CUNA), honors credit unions for their involvement in community projects and activities.

DCCU has also won 2nd place honors in the Desjardins Youth Financial Education Awards for credit unions. This is the third year DCCU has been recognized for this award. The Desjardins Awards sponsored by the VACUL and the CUNA, honor credit unions for their commitment to teaching personal finance basics to young people.

Through a variety of fundraising events, the credit union provided more than $17,000 to aid AMC Hospice of the Shenandoah in its work, enabling the organization to support approximately 615 individuals through home-based care; in its specialized end-of-life care facility, the Shenandoah House; and through Camp Dragonfly, a bereavement camp for children and teens mourning the loss of a loved one.

"Vial of Life"

The Credit Union has partnered with the Waynesboro Woman's Club and CVS Pharmacy to provide a life-saving FREE service to our community, "Vial of Life."

This program focuses on home medical safety through providing crucial information to emergency responders in emergency situations. Previously the program was available to those 60 years of age or older by the Valley Program for Aging Services, but now is also available to people from birth to 59 years of age through the assistance of your Credit Union.

The "Vial of Life" consists of a medical history form, medicine vial, and a red "Vial of Life" magnet. The medical history form is completed by recording medical conditions, prescriptions taken, date of birth, etc., and then is placed in the medicine vial (provided by CVS) for storage in your refrigerator. The red "Vial of Life" magnet on the door of the refrigerator alerts emergency responders where they can locate important medical information in an emergency. The Waynesboro Woman's Club assembles the kits and informs area emergency responders of the incredible program. With the information the "Vial of Life" supplies and the awareness of emergency personnel, lives can be saved.

The Credit Union branches serve as easy access distribution points for the community. The "Vial of Life" program serves the Waynesboro, Staunton, and Augusta County area. It is important to understand that the "Vial of Life" is only effective in this area because these are the emergency responders that have been educated with the details.

The Credit Union is proud to participate in a service that can help save lives and benefit everyone in our community.

Credit Union offices.

Note: Please remember to update your medical form anytime your medications or conditions change so that your information will be current in case of an emergency.
