Shell Federal Recognized as National Community Credit Union of the Year

by Ron Daly

Way back in June of this year, we highlighted the efforts of Shell Federal Credit Union as a community credit union that was dedicated to reaching out to members and being active in their community. Back then, they'd been highlighted as "Business of the Year" by the Deer Park Chamber of Commerce. The awards keep on coming for Shell. It was only a few weeks ago that they were recognized by the Credit Union National Association as the Community Credit Union of the Year (click here to read the press release). From the release:

"In today's turbulent world, extending a helping hand in the community is a top priority at Shell FCU. The sole purpose of the credit union is to meet the financial needs of their members, provide free financial literacy and volunteer for a stronger community."

Shell FCU's accolades are well deserved. Their iLife program encourages members and non-members to come and participate in events that will benefit others in their community. Whether it's bicycle drives, cell phones for soliders or a basketball tournament, iLife is dedicated to boosting community spirit, community giving, and volunteerism. 

Shell is also celebrating a "great loan year" by offering a $15,000 store credit at Pasadena Honda to a lucky borrower in January. Pretty sweet prize, considering many lending institutions and banks are unable/unwilling to lend these days.

Congratulations, Shell FCU - you've earned it!
