Hanscom Federal Credit Union Charitable Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Hanscom Federal Credit Union, recently donated $6,000 to the National Credit Union (NCU) Foundation.

Hanscom Federal Credit Union recently participated in a large survey of credit union members about the financial impact of COVID-19, the results of which are being used by Hanscom FCU to assist its own members. Seventy-one credit unions joined in the research conducted by financial consultancy Raddon, with a total of 103,806 survey respondents spanning 33 U.S. states. The survey reveals how members were impacted by the pandemic in their daily lives.

Hanscom Federal Credit Union Charitable Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Hanscom Federal Credit Union, is happy to announce a donation of $10,000 to the United Service Organizations (USO) of New England. As part of this donation, the Foundation was the presenting sponsor for the USO’s “Military Kids Are Heroes Too!” event on Saturday, June 20 on Hanscom Air Force Base and will be sponsoring “Catch a Cold” Coffee Breaks at Coast Guard Base Boston and the US Army Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center throughout the summer.

Hanscom Federal Credit Union Charitable Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Hanscom Federal Credit Union, recently supported the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life in Burlington, MA, with a donation of $2,364, matching the amount raised by Hanscom FCU employees for a total donation of $4,728. In the wake of COVID-19, this year’s event was rescheduled to June 7, retooled to be entirely virtual, and dubbed “Hope From Home.” Hanscom FCU helped to support “Hope From Home” with a $1,000 sponsorship for the event itself.

Hanscom FCU employees Diane Welch, a remote services specialist, and David Minker, chief information officer, volunteered at the Burlington (MA) Food Pantry this spring by sorting and stocking food donations from area businesses and the Greater Boston Food Bank.

Hanscom Federal Credit Union won two Diamond Awards this year in the financial education category of the Credit Union National Association's (CUNA) Marketing & Business Development Council’s annual awards competition. The awards were held virtually because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hanscom Federal Credit Union’s Annual Meeting has been rescheduled for 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, August 5, 2020. The meeting will be streamed live for our members’ convenience.

Chef Oscar Garcia had spent years working at some of Boston’s finest restaurants until disaster struck: he needed brain surgery. “I lived off my savings for a year and half,” he said. “When I recovered, I had no job to go back to.” The pressure and grind of Boston’s dining scene no longer appealed to him, so he started thinking about his next act.

Hanscom FCU Chairman Ray Phillips writes in the annual Chairman's letter of a year filled with growth, changes, and support during a difficult time for the world.

Hanscom Federal Credit Union is pleased to announce that it has funded over $10 million in lending for its small business members through the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).
