In The Community
Sikorsky Credit Union's approach to Community Involvement combines both financial and volunteer support. We encourage our employees to get involved in their local communities and to support programs that make a positive impact. While our efforts have varied over time (supporting local events, participating in chartible drives, etc.) our primary focus is centered around our youth and financial literacy.
