Community is at the heart of everything we do at DCCU. With deep roots in the Shenandoah Valley, giving back isn't just something we do - it has become part of who we are. From employee volunteerism and sponsorships to the launch of the DCCU Cares Foundation, we're committed to making a positive impact in meaningful ways. 

Corporate volunteerism
Our employees play an active role in strengthening the community. Through our corporate volunteer program, they roll up their sleeves and get involved with projects ranging from community clean-ups to packing meals at the local food bank. Volunteering allows us to connect directly with people and organizations making a difference every day.

Sponsorships
We’re proud to support local organizations through sponsorships. Whether it’s helping fund a community event or supporting a nonprofit’s mission, our sponsorship program allows us to partner with groups that share our commitment to enriching the Valley.

The DCCU Cares Foundation
In April 2024, we expanded our giving efforts by launching the DCCU Cares Foundation. This nonprofit builds on our history of philanthropy and focuses on four key areas:

• Financial wellness
• Education
• Community engagement
• Community partnerships

Through thoughtful, strategic giving, the Foundation works to empower individual success and self-sufficiency while creating lasting benefits for our members and neighbors.

Shred Days
Giving back can be practical, too. Our bi-annual Shred Days events help protect community members from identity theft by offering free document shredding. These events also benefit the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank, as participants are encouraged to bring food items or monetary donations. It’s a simple way to protect your information while also supporting local families in need.

At DCCU, giving back is more than a program – it’s part of our purpose. We’re proud to support the people and organizations that make our communities stronger, and we look forward to continuing this important work for years to come.
