Valley Credit Union

Congratulations to Matt Macrow, our October Employee of the Month. Matt has been a shining example of engagement, consistently going above and beyond to create connections, inspire teamwork, and build a support environment. As written by his nomination: "Matt consistently goes above and beyond to build relationships with others. His collaboration to bring people together is admirable. He creates fundraisers in a fun competitive environment that not only benefit Valley, but the members too. Even though he doesn’t directly deal with members every day, he continues to provide information to them through social media; ensuring everyone is up to date with the latest information. At times this is done after hours in the event of a scam or fraud, when members need to be made aware immediately. Matt is truly an asset to Valley staff and members!"

?? Today was a heartwarming and proud moment for Valley Credit Union! We had 15+ volunteers on hand at Canyon Creek School for their Thanksgiving lunch, serving students and their families a delicious meal in a room filled with laughter and gratitude. ???? During the event, Canyon Creek School's superintendent, Mr. Kelly Hornby, surprised us with an incredible honor—the Community Service Award of 2024. This award was presented to our SVP of Community Engagement, Brandon Scala, by Mr. Hornby and board member Miss Sironi, as they recognized Valley Credit Union for our ongoing dedication to their students, staff, and families. From last year's donation to help bring back field trips, sports, student council, and so much more, to being part of days like today, it's truly a privilege to partner with such an amazing school. Seeing the positive impact on the kids and their excitement reminds us why giving back is so important. ?? Thank you, Canyon Creek School, for this incredible recognition. We're honored to stand with you and can't wait to see what we can achieve together next! ?? ?? Check out the video of Mr. Hornby’s heartfelt words and the award presentation—it’s a moment we won’t forget! #CommunityRunsDeep
