Credit unions have a social responsibility to uphold the philosophy of “People Helping People” and to support their communities. But at Advance Financial, it’s more than that. You’ve allowed us to serve and be a part of this community for over 80 years. We’re extremely grateful and, therefore, we want to give back. Through sponsorship and a variety of donations, charitable events, financial literacy education programs and unique partnerships with local businesses and organizations, Advance Financial is committed to a better Northwest Indiana.

At Advance Financial Federal Credit Union, we believe that moving forward together means supporting our members, our neighbors and the communities we call home.
This fall, AFFCU is proud to host a Food Drive for the Food Bank of Northwest Indiana and we invite our members, employees and community to join us in helping local families facing food insecurity.
The need is especially important in our community. The Food Bank of Northwest Indiana works every day to provide access to nutritious food for our neighbors throughout Lake and Porter Counties. With the support of individuals, businesses and community organizations, the Food Bank provides food assistance to more than 60,000 people each month.
From now through October 31, you can make a donation at either AFFCU office:
Every dollar can go a long way toward helping provide meals to individuals and families in need. The Food Bank reports that $1 can provide three meals.
Hunger affects people in every community and after the damaging impacts of the August 2026 derecho, the need is greater than ever. By coming together, we can help ensure our neighbors have the food they need.
Thank you for helping us make a difference in Northwest Indiana and for being a part of a community that cares.

We’re proud to serve as an official drop-off center for Cell Phones For Soldiers®, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to helping active-duty military members and veterans stay connected with the people and resources that matter most.
Cell Phones For Soldiers® provides free communication services and emergency support to service members and veterans by recycling donated cell phones and electronic devices. Since its founding in 2004, the organization has delivered millions of minutes of free talk time, distributed phones and service to veterans in need, and helped families stay connected during deployments and times of transition.
As part of our commitment to community involvement and service, we are honored to support this mission by making it easy for our members and neighbors to give back. Old cellphones can be dropped off at either AFFCU office lobby during normal business hours.
By donating a device, you’re doing more than decluttering, you’re helping a service member hear a loved one’s voice, a veteran access essential services, and a family stay connected when it matters most.
We’re grateful for the opportunity to partner with Cell Phones For Soldiers® and to support those who have served our country. Together, small acts of giving can make a meaningful difference.
