We're excited to announce FCCU staff recently held our second annual Day of Service. The FCCU Day of Service was created as a way to give staff the opportunity work together to exemplify our brand promise, "Life is Better with Community" and also our core value of commitment to community.

With nearly all of FCCU's employees volunteering, more than 260 combined staff hours were accumulated during this time. “It was amazing to see all the hard work, local connections, staff engagement and variety of activities across our locations.” said Susan Long Swen, Event & Community Engagement Specialist.
