So far we've donated more than 700 books!
At West Michigan Credit Union, we partner with Giving Tree Books to promote children’s literacy by publishing high-quality, elementary-level books and providing them free to children from under-resourced communities in West Michigan.
We've been collecting monetary donations at all of our locations to help every child in West Michigan have a book to call their own since January 2025.
We plan to donate books to 5 schools near each branch, and we’ve donated over 700 books so far in 2025!
Thank you for being a member of West Michigan Credit Union and helping us support our local communities, the younger generation, and under-resourced communities.

We've donated $3,500 so far in 2025!
WMCU values the communities we serve and aims to reinvest in the where our members reside, work, and worship. To show our support for our community, we implemented a team member donation program in 2024 that we've continued through 2025.
We have set aside money for every team member to give back to the community! On behalf of WMCU, every team member has the opportunity to donate money to one local West Michigan charitable organization of their choosing.
In 2024, our team members chose over 35 different organizations across West Michigan and we donated $7,268! In 2025, so far, we have donated to organizations such as the Anxiety Resource Center, Manistee County Council on Aging, Friends of GR Parks, Dementia Institute, Coopersville Cares, Wexford County Animal Shelter, New Growth Project, Grand Rapids Trans Foundation, Gilda's Club, and more!
We are so proud to take a community first approach to hightlight local organizations that are making our team members', and so many others', lives be simply better.
