Community Involvement

Community First strives to make a positive impact and difference within our community.

We believe it is important to donate back into our communities. We have donated to various local charities, organizations, schools, and individuals in need. Some of these places include EightCAP, Inc., United Way Montcalm-Ionia Counties, Barrie’s House, Children’s Miracle Network, LAMA, Helping Hands of Howard City, our local schools, and more.

Our staff strives to go above and beyond, within our community. Although we focus on volunteering within our service area, we do not limit our staff to where they can make a difference.

You can find our staff at numerous events throughout the year, such as town festivals, sporting events, blood drives, school carnivals, and more.

Community First sponsors a wide range of teams and events. We have sponsored adult softball and volleyball teams, youth and high school teams, tournaments, and more. We are also the main financial sponsor for the Tri-County High School’s Awards Night.


All Branches CLOSED: Thursday, 1/1 (New Year’s Day). 24-hour ATM, online, and mobile banking services are available. Regular business hours will resume Friday, January 2. | Stay Alert for Scams! We often see an increase in scam attempts during the holiday season, and we want to help you stay safe. Important Tips: CFFCU will never call and ask for personal information like your SSN, card number, or online banking details. If someone does, hang up immediately. Never share your SSN, card number, or online banking info over the phone. If you’re unsure, call the company back using their official phone number. One-Time Passcodes should never be shared with anyone. If our Fraud Monitoring Service contacts you, be honest about unauthorized charges—this helps block transactions you didn’t approve. Your security matters to us. Stay alert and enjoy a safe, happy holiday season!
