Get Involved with Community Events

At VyStar, we strive to uphold the credit union philosophy “people helping people” by not only providing our valued members with quality financial products and services, but also actively supporting the communities where we live, work and play.

As Coronavirus (COVID-19) is sweeping through our community, we wanted to provide you with a variety of ways to get involved.

Jacksonville Arts & Music School (JAMS)

JAMS is an after-school program that helps kids with their creativity through dance, film making, music, visual arts and provides a safe haven. This March, VyStar donated funds to help the teachers and provided visual arts supplies, two cameras, two film lighting set ups and two laptops. Find out how you can get involved by visiting the JAMS website.

Rethreaded

VyStar Credit Union, Community First Credit Union, 1-2-1 Credit Union, First Florida Credit Union and Jax Federal Credit Union have teamed up with Rethreaded by donating funds for their staff to make medical masks for St. Vincent’s (who has donated the supplies needed). The Rethreaded staff hope to produce 100 masks per day. Find out how you can support this organization by visiting the Rethreaded website.

Operation New Hope

We are happy to announce that we created two new positions for clients of Operation New Hope in the beginning of 2020.

With the release of incarcerated people to combat the spread of COVID-19, their clients will need services more than ever. Find out how you can get involved by visiting the Operation New Hope website.
