Each year in October, NFCU’s employees gather for Neighbors Day – a city-wide day of service to give back to the Greater Baton Rouge Area. Employee volunteers partner with a dozen organizations in GBR to contribute more than 1,000 hours of service to the community. This year’s efforts were recognized by Mayor Sharon Weston Broome’s office, who officially proclaimed October 14th, 2024, as Neighbors Day.
Neighbors Day was established after the Baton Roug e-area flood with countless employees and members deeply affected. NFCU staff members went out into the community to support their coworkers and neighbors in need, leaving a lasting impression. An annual day of service was established in their honor.
The mission of Neighbors Day is to not only provide much-needed assistance to those in need but to inspire others in Baton Rouge to give back to the community as part of the Neighbors Capital Area Foundation.
About Neighbors Federal Credit Union
Neighbors Federal Credit Union is a not-for-profit financial cooperative operating as an association dedicated to "people helping people." A handful of educators started Baton Rouge Teachers in 1954 with a shoe box, a couple hundred dollars and the goal of making financial services available to school system employees in our area.
Now, Neighbors Federal Credit Union is the largest community-chartered credit union in the state of Louisiana with over 80,000 members and over $1 billion in assets. Since that time, Neighbors has undergone a variety of changes, but the mission has stayed the same: Enhance members' financial well being and be a partner in the communities Neighbors serves.
