Each quarter SEFCU highlights volunteers who are making our communities better places through their commitment and contributions by presenting the Why I Care award. Even though the recipients of this award have different reasons for giving, the result is the same - they are Changing Lives Every Day. Meet this quarter’s winners, Artie Shade and Pat Hedgeman.

Giving never felt so good! When you agree to donate the minimum $1 per month through SEFCU's Giving for Good program we'll transfer the funds from your account automatically each month. Think about it - for just $12 a year you can help SEFCU continue its mission of improving the lives of people in our community. Plus, we provide special opportunities to our Giving for Good members throughout the year!
