Stories from our Annual Meeting

Thanks to all the members and friends who attended our annual meeting on November 14! We offered credit union updates and good food, but the best part was hearing from our members: workers, parents and entrepreneurs pursuing their dreams with remarkable faith and determination. Read their stories and get a brief recap of the meeting, including comments from President Randy Chambers and CEO Martin Eakes.

Members affected by Hurricane Florence: please let us know what you need! We offer Disaster Relief Loans to help you meet deductibles and other hurricane-related expenses. We also have tips for filing for federal disaster assistance.

Members with existing consumer loans may qualify for a payment deferral.

Our Legacy Serving Workers in the Fields

For oil refinery workers and farm workers in the Bakersfield, CA area, access to a credit union meant greater economic independence. Our new video, featuring Dolores Huerta, tells the stories of Kern Central Credit Union and the Farm Workers Credit Union, and how they ultimately came together to bring fair financial services to workers in the fields.
