FCCU Donates $909.09 to the Community Space in Whitewater through Employee Charitable Contributions

Fort Community Credit Union (FCCU) is proud to announce a donation of $909.09 to The Community Space in support of its mission to provide essential resources, food, and support that improves the wellbeing for Whitewater area residents. The donation was generated through FCCU’s new employee charitable giving program, which allows team members to voluntarily contribute a portion of their paychecks to local nonprofit organizations. In its inaugural year, the program supported 11 local organizations selected for their meaningful and lasting impact on the communities FCCU serves.

The Community Space in Whitewater was selected as one of the program’s first-year beneficiaries. As a volunteer-
driven nonprofit, Community Space plays a vital role in supporting individuals and families by offering free access to food, clothing, household essentials, and a welcoming space rooted in compassion and community care. Through its emphasis on reducing stigma, building relationships, and ensuring that all residents have what they need to thrive, The Community Space has become an essential pillar in the Whitewater community.

“We are thrilled to be selected as a beneficiary of this program,” said Cindy Wendt, general manager of the
Community Space. “We are donation-driven in addition to being volunteer-driven, and funds like this allow us to
leverage our strong relationship with Feeding America of Wisconsin and others to provide more critical resources to the community. We appreciate that FCCU sees the value of strengthening the community and deeply value their
partnership.”

FCCU’s employee giving program reflects the credit union’s cooperative values and its ongoing commitment to
empowering team members to make a direct and positive difference in their communities. By combining employee
contributions with FCCU’s support, the program amplifies the impact of local nonprofits working to meet critical
community needs.
