Path to a Difference with Glacier Hills Credit Union

Stories by and for Glacier Hills members

Small acts of kindness, giving back to our community and continuing to add value to the Glacier Hills member experience—you’ll find it all here.

Our Community

Community: “A feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests and goals.” For over 87 years, we’ve viewed ourselves as a true community partner in this wonderful place we all call home. In fact, we refer to ourselves as “your community credit union,” and it’s an idea so important to us that we include it as part of our name.

In this section, we share with you some of our recent participation in and support of community non-profits.

**Volunteering with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Washington County**
In late February, the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Washington County organized a Bowl for Kids’ Sake event. Some staff volunteered and dressed up as mermaids to show their support for the Under the Sea theme. They not only raised about $600 dollars, but also won an award for most spirited team! The BBBS community raised about $25,000 across three days.

**Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Volunteering**
In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, our West Bend branch prepared and delivered lunches to home-bound individuals, created Valentine's Day decorations for The Gardens, collected items for the Washington County Humane Society and wrote letters to veterans... Read more...

**Operation Hartford Christmas**
Kudos to our Hartford branch team members who donated a whole lot of gifts to the Hartford Christmas Project. We had 131 families show up! So many members recognized us, and we all enjoyed the festive act of giving, including a plethora of bicylces, toys and gifts generously donated by our community.

**Glacier Hills Holiday Food Drive**
Earlier this month, the generous staff at Glacier Hills came together once again to supply those in need with food for the holidays. With the help of the community and a little friendly competition, over 1,700 food items were donated! Way to go, Glacier Hills staff! We wish everyone who participated a very happy and warm holiday season.

**Credit Union for Kids through CMN**
Credit Union for Kids through the Children’s Miracle Network partners with credit unions to raise money for kiddos. This year we raised money during the entire month of April. To support Credit Union for Kids, we sold paper easter eggs and yellow heart links for members and staff to purchase. All proceeds went to Children’s of Wisconsin.

Voices

We celebrate the individuals who make our community feel like home. We hope they inspire you as much as they’ve inspired us—and bring you closer to discovering your own path to a difference.

Each year we award scholarships to our members who are local high school seniors getting ready to transition to the next level of their education. This year we were pleased to announce our two winners at the Annual Meeting on March 22. Congratulations to Joscelyn B. and Kacey O.—both from Slinger High School—who each received $1,000 to put toward their college education starting in the fall.

Our Giving

Too often, local organizations who have a mission to help their local communities succeed, lack the financial resources and supplies they need to fully perform the miracles they aim for. That's why we've made it our mission to support them through various donations, fundraising drives, and outreach and awareness events. These are the organizations we've been proud to help raise money for or donated to.
