Embracing the Cooperative Spirit

We believe it is our obligation to contribute to the betterment of our communities through financial investments and volunteerism. In communities where we do business, we support a variety of non-profit, civic and economic development organizations that share our interest in improving local prosperity, economic self-sufficiency, education, and the health and well-being of community members. We host an annual golf tournament to benefit the Children’s’ Miracle Network, community shred days at our multiple locations, financial literacy sessions, and participate in many local events such as farmers’ markets, festivals, community gatherings, etc. Lafayette Federal employees are enthusiastic and involved, volunteering their time by serving in leadership positions, group associations, chapter memberships. Their generosity is a source of pride for Lafayette Federal, and we encourage their involvement in community-building efforts.
