Located on the campus of the West Roxbury Veteran Affairs Medical Center, Fisher House Boston has in recent years become a favorite Hanscom FCU charitable partner for both hands-on volunteer efforts and material support. "Every group of Hanscom FCU volunteers lucky enough to visit Fisher House comes back better off for it,"said Hanscom FCU Chairman of the Board Paul Marotta. "The people Fisher House serves are the very same people we as a credit union live with, work with and call members, and to be able to support them in this way is incredibly meaningful." Hanscom Federal Credit Union, headquartered at Hanscom Air Force Base, Mass., serves 52,877 members across the country and overseas through 17 branches, over 100,000 service centers and surcharge-free ATMs, 24-hour telephone service and a web-based branch. The credit union holds over $1 billion in assets. Hanscom FCU offers members an array of products and services, including free checking and savings accounts, consumer loans and credit cards, investment and insurance services, and mortgages for primary, secondary, and investment properties.
