We want to thank you for being the best part of Community First! It’s never been a better time to be a member. As John mentioned in his State of the Credit Union letter, it's because of members like you that we’ve been able to do some big things to support our local community and enhance your banking experience. 

• Community Partnerships: We provided support to several local sports teams, schools, children, and families through education initiatives, scholarships, financial literacy, and much more. 
• Community First Cares Foundation: Our non-profit community foundation – the charitable arm of Community First Credit Union – continued to support local non-profit organizations to fund projects that improve financial literacy, education systems, health and wellness, and the underserved needs in the community.
• Branch Transformations: We committed to Building Better Banking across Northeast Florida this year by renovating the Northside and Beach branches, moving our Fleming Island and Yulee branches, and building a new branch in Oakleaf.
• Member Experiences: Whether it was providing helpful seminars around town or offering new services, we elevated our member experience this year.

Watch this quick video to see just some of the ways we shared the love with our members this year.
