We’ve been serving Members ever since, growing into who we are today with the knowledge that strength in numbers brings opportunities and prosperity to all of us.
ST. JOSEPH, Mich. – United Federal Credit Union (United) has received the 2020 Whirlpool Community Commitment Award as part of the United Way of Southwest Michigan’s annual Celebration awards.

United is proud to do our part to support the United Way of Southwest Michigan and we are honored to have received this prestigious award in recognition of our community efforts.”
The Whirlpool Community Commitment Award was established to “recognize organizations and their employees whose dedication to community is unparalleled” and who “have a long-standing history of creating impact in Southwest Michigan,” according to the United Way.
“In only its second year of being presented, this award is recognizing United Federal Credit Union on behalf of United Way and Whirlpool Corporation due to their reach not only into our community but within the many communities that their branches serve,” said Charlotte Becker, Director of Annual Campaign at United Way of Southwest Michigan. “The work that United does through United Way in its communities mirrors Whirlpool’s ability to create positive impact in each of their locations, and we are very pleased to present this award acknowledging these efforts.”
