Neighbors Federal Credit Union is proud to serve our community!
As “the credit union for everyone” in the nine parishes of the Greater Baton Rouge Area, Neighbors works to help people to better themselves financially, and to improve their quality of life wherever possible.
For years, our representatives have spent time in classrooms, teaching financial responsibility to students of all ages. We have supported and participated in numerous educational award programs and efforts. Through monetary donations and employee time, Neighbors has also done its part to support efforts to fight cancer, muscular dystrophy, heart disease, and many other areas of human concern.
A few examples of Neighbors’ recent community efforts are listed below. Throughout the Greater Baton Rouge Area, community events are in need of volunteer efforts and financial support. Neighbors provides both, in as many instances as possible, with a particular focus on those events and organizations that are most beneficial to families, education, financial literacy, and students of all ages.
