Community is Always Our Priority

Dear Members,

As summer comes to an end, SFFCU is celebrating Back-to-School Season with our Youth Scholarship Award. We have selected 5 stellar students that demonstrate dedication, passion, and achievement. On August 8th, we hosted a celebration for these students and their families to recognize this competitive award.  

Once again, we partnered with WeHero on a community service event, Raise the Woof. We had the challenge of hand-making woven dog toys, using teamwork to make each one. 

As always, we thank you for being an integral part of our SFFCU community.

Raise the Woof Service Event!

Here at SFFCU we are always looking for ways to contribute to the communities we serve. Our team spent time supporting Raise the Woof, a nonprofit that supports the SFPCA with WeHero. 

We had the fun challenge of hand making woven dog tug toys that are donated to nationwide shelters. These tug toys are made for pups of all sizes to keep them entertained and their teeth clean.
