Greenbelt Community Cooperative Recognition

Lafayette Federal Credit Union is proud to be recognized by the City of Greenbelt for its role in the community. Mayor Emmett V. Jordan personally delivered the proclamation to the credit union, marking October as Cooperative Month; highlighting how cooperatives help address inflation, affordability, infrastructure, and the preservation of local businesses.

Cooperation brings people together around shared needs and goals. In Greenbelt, Lafayette Federal is proud to be part of a community where organizations work to support local residents and contribute to the area’s continued vitality.

Through its Greenbelt branch, Lafayette Federal serves local members and helps meet the financial needs of the community. This local presence reflects our commitment to building meaningful relationships and making a positive difference in the places our members call home.

Unlike banks owned by outside shareholders, credit unions are member-owned financial institutions. This structure allows credit unions to focus on providing value to their members through financial products, services, and personalized support.

At Lafayette Federal, we’re committed to helping members at every stage of life. Whether you’re saving for the future, purchasing a home, or managing everyday expenses, we strive to provide the guidance and financial solutions you need to make informed decisions.

Our approach reflects our mission to serve, support, and empower our members and our belief in the principle of people helping people.

We’re grateful to Mayor Jordan and the City of Greenbelt for this honor. It serves as a meaningful reminder of the value of organizations that put people first and contribute to the well-being of their communities.

Since our founding in 1935, Lafayette Federal has remained committed to serving our members and building lasting relationships. We’re proud to continue that tradition in Greenbelt and throughout the communities we serve.
