Community Programs

Communities First

Founded in 2018, we developed the Communities First Program to support education and healthcare related services. To date, we've donated $191,500 to seven community college foundations and 13 hospital foundations in our service areas.

#Credituniongood

We partner with local organizations, develop projects, and host events in our communities, focusing on K-12 education and community colleges to help students achieve a financially sustainable future.

Employee Volunteerism

We don't just talk the talk. Fibre Federal fosters a strong spirit of volunteerism among our staff. Our employees have volunteered over 8,350 hours and counting for community events.

Christmas Tags

We partner with foster child programs in Cowlitz, Wahkiakum, Columbia, Clatsop, Tillamook, and Lincoln Counties to collect donations of gifts and cash just in time for the holidays.

Financial Education

Our Community Engagement & Education Coordinators partner with K-12 schools, colleges, and local organizations in our communities to provide free financial education classes and learning materials. We believe building healthy financial habits at any age is a skill that benefits people for a lifetime.

Free Shred Days

We host annual Free Shred Day events throughout our service areas to help reduce identity theft with secure document disposal. Often, these events are paired with a local food bank and volunteers accept donations on behalf of the food bank at the event. It's a win-win!

Rainy Months Series

These stage performances at Longview's Columbia Theatre are designed for families with young children. Before each show, our volunteers host free activities, giveaways, and prize drawings. The Rainy Months Series brings fun, affordable entertainment to families when the weather outside can be gloomy.
