Jennifer's Credit Union Story
In an effort to give back to the religious community Desert First Credit Union serves, they created a separate charitable foundation that provides financial assistance to missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The foundation helps prospective missionaries as they prepare to leave their homes in volunteer service around the world. The foundation's efforts target those with financial hardships to give back as much as possible to the credit union community every year.
