LEWISTON — The Maine Credit Union League held its annual convention virtually this year, but that didn’t stop the organization from recognizing the impact of Credit Unions in their communities over the past year.
Community Credit Union received a first place award in the following categories: Desjardins Youth Financial Education Award, Desjardins Adult Financial Education Award, Dora Maxwell Social Responsibility Community Award and Louise Herring Philosophy in Action Member Service Award. The award category included all credit unions with $50-$250 million in assets. As a first place award recipient, Community Credit Union’s entries will be considered by CUNA (Credit Union National Association) for national awards. Those winners will be chosen in November.
This year’s awards focused on the financial education efforts of Community Credit Union for both youth and adults in Androscoggin County as well as new programs developed for members including the Ready, Set, YES! auto loan program and a First Time Auto Buyer program.
The Dora Maxwell Social Responsibility Community Award focused on the Credit Union’s effort to serve underserved populations in our community such as immigrants, low-income families, victims of domestic violence and at risk youth. The Credit Union was also recognized for 75 years serving their community.
Community Credit Union is a member-owned, full service financial institution that has been serving its members and all of Androscoggin County for 75 years. Community Credit Union has branches at 144 Pine St.; 40 Stanley St., Auburn; and 1025 Auburn Road, Turner, serving approximately 10,000 members.
