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.
The Boys and Girls Club of Washington County website proclaims, “Great futures start here.” Their mission to enable all young people to realize their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens is such a noble (and necessary) one. We do believe that it does indeed “take a village,” and this non-profit’s mission is one we’re proud to get behind.
During the month of April, Glacier Hills employees in our West Bend, Hartford and Fond du Lac branches joined forces to collect food, providing a much-welcomed donation, for the Full Shelf Food Pantry in West Bend. Full Shelf Food Pantry provides food and grocery items to over 500 low income families, delivering over one million pounds of grocery items annually throughout the Washington County area.
For nearly 59 years, the Threshold has helped people reach their full potential. The different programs they’ve developed are as varied as the over 670 folks they serve every year. We love this non-profit because they share our strong belief that providing respectful service to each person during every stage of their life dignifies and enriches that person’s life.
It’s that time of year again, and we say, “batter up!” Jackson Area Youth Baseball provides an environment for players to develop good citizenship, discipline, teamwork and physical well-being. By championing virtues, like character, confidence, effort and attitude, the league promotes development of superior citizens and exceptional athletes. Plus, they have a lot of fun in the process!
Through education and social services, Casa Guadalupe Education Center empowers low-income, native-born and Spanish-speaking Latino families to live independent, successful lives. This is a non-profit that is near and dear to our hearts. We’ve been involved with them for a number of years, and during this time, we’ve seen Casa Guadalupe make a real difference in our community.

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.
Value
Own your journey is way more than just our tagline—it’s the guiding philosophy we use in adding value to our members’ experience with Glacier Hills.
