VACU Supports Fredericksburg’s Hinesight

Virginia Credit Union has made a $2,500 contribution to the Hinesight, a non-profit organization focused on offering high quality youth mentoring and adult empowerment for families overcoming poverty in the Rappahannock Region.

The contribution follows the recommendation of an advisory council of Virginia Credit Union members from the Fredericksburg area.

Hinesight is a 501©(3) organization that organizes community members to work as mentors to youth and offers a 10-week workshop series for parents of the youth to help them build resources and executive functioning skills necessary for transitioning out of poverty. The contribution will help the organization expand their program and empower families through the services they offer for both youth and adults.

A financial cooperative serving more than 285,000 members, Virginia Credit Union offers a variety of affordable banking services, loans, mortgages, and free financial education resources, with a focus on helping people be more confident with their finances. Virginia Credit Union is an equal housing opportunity lender and is federally insured by NCUA.
