Community

Putting people first

As a community credit union, we are dedicated to supporting our neighbors and those in need!

We’ve been serving the people, businesses and nonprofit organizations of Maryland for more than a century — starting with Chestertown in Kent County in 1910 and growing to include Queen Anne’s and Talbot Counties over the past several decades.

Donations

We financially support a number of community initiatives and nearly every non profit organization in the cities we serve. The credit union's total gifts, donations and sponsorships was almost $41,000 in 2022 alone!

Here are a few examples:

Two scholarships will be awarded to two students in each of the three counties we serve: Kent County, Queen Anne’s County and Talbot County.
