Community, Connection & Service
Cheers to 75 Years! For 75 years, Blue has grown alongside its members and communities, guided by the credit union philosophy of people helping people. That spirit remains at the heart of the organization today and is reflected in a yearlong anniversary celebration centered on gratitude, generosity, and shared stories.

75 Acts of Kindness Blue branches hosted 75th Anniversary celebrations on June 23, 2026, inviting members, employees, and community partners to join in the festivities. A signature part of the anniversary was 75 Acts of Kindness, a branch-led initiative that brought Blue’s commitment to doing good to life in a tangible way. Each branch identified local nonprofit organizations, invited members to vote on a nonprofit to receive a $500 donation, and completed a second act of kindness through volunteer service with another nonprofit in its community.

•

•

Real Members. Real Stories. For 75 years, Blue’s story has been shaped by the members we serve. Every account opened, goal reached, challenge overcome, and milestone celebrated has helped make Blue what it is today. That’s why, as we celebrate this anniversary, we’re sharing member stories from across our communities. These stories remind us where we started, what matters most to our members, and how we can continue showing up in meaningful ways for generations to come. Because the future of Blue isn’t just about where we’re going. It’s about the people we’re growing with.

I joined Blue when it was Warren FCU in the early 2000s. I joined so that I could deposit money so that I could purchase my first guitar set with my own card. I was about 13, and I was so excited to finally get my own bank account. I’ve stayed with Blue because of the people and the perks. I was even able to purchase my first home with the help of a Blue loan officer who made the process so easy!

I actually was with Community Financial Credit Union. Blue Credit Union took over Community Financial, and I’ve been with Blue ever since. I’ve met a couple of bank associates whom I really trust. They’ve always gone that extra distance. Total time between Community Financial and Blue Credit Union is about 38 years.
