October 21, 2024

(Originally published October 14, 2024)

HONOLULU, HI Hawaii State Federal Credit Union (Hawaii State FCU) took advantage of Columbus Day (Indigenous Peoples’ Day), a federal holiday not officially recognized as a state holiday in Hawaii, by launching its inaugural HSFCU Cares Day. While most financial institutions remained closed, Hawaii State FCU went a step further by closing all branches and headquarters operations to dedicate the day to community service and charitable giving. Through various volunteer projects across Oahu and Maui, employees spent the day supporting local nonprofits and giving back to the communities they serve.

To further amplify the impact, the Hawaii State FCU introduced the HSFCU Cares Day Charitable Match Giving Campaign, matching employee donations to the participating nonprofits, doubling the impact. Employees and members were encouraged to donate directly to the nonprofits hosting the volunteer projects. Today, over $6,000 was donated to nine organizations.

With more than 300 employees volunteering over 1,200 combined hours across nine nonprofits, HSFCU Cares Day focuses on the community impact areas of Kupuna, Financial Literacy and basic needs and necessities. This initiative reflects Hawaii State FCU’s commitment to serving Hawaii’s people, not only through financial services but by giving back to the community in a hands-on way.
