Mission Fed
Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month
Mission Fed Credit Union has been an engaged community partner for over 60 years, and its core mission has remained the same: Earning trust, investing in its members’ success, and caring for the community. It is the credit union’s way to achieve the double-bottom line goal of serving members and the community.
The credit union is driving positive social impact. Its focus includes the Hispanic community, with the goal of fostering economic inclusion and supporting financial well-being.
In 2022, Mission Fed became the first credit union in San Diego County to receive the Juntos Avanzamos “Together We Advance” designation, a distinction that acknowledges its on-going commitment to serving and empowering Hispanic consumers. Juntos Avanzamos credit unions employ bilingual, culturally aware staff and leadership, accept alternative forms of ID such as Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN) and treat all members with respect, no matter where they come from.
“Mission Fed is proud to help its members ‘move forward together’ with financial empowerment tools that improve their lives,” Doug Wright, President & CEO of Mission Fed shared with GB Magazine. “We honor and celebrate our members every day, but particularly would like to acknowledge our Hispanic consumers during Hispanic Heritage Month.”
In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, Mission Fed’s 34 branches are providing free “Lotería” games and cards from October 7-19, 2024, inviting members to honor the traditions that bring us together – crossing borders, generations and cultures, and provide opportunities to connect with friends and family. (One per member – limited amount per day; while supplies last).
Mission Fed is proud to partner with nonprofit organizations that support the Hispanic community, including MANA de San Diego, The Chicano Federation, Southwestern College Foundation, The MAAC Project, the Emilio Nares Foundation and more.
