VACU Supports Southside Center for Violence Prevention

Virginia Credit Union has made a $2,500 contribution to the Southside Center for Violence Prevention (SCVP), following the recommendation of an advisory council of Virginia Credit Union members from the Farmville area.

The SCVP is a non-profit organization that provides free, confidential, and comprehensive services to those affected by sexual and domestic violence. The organization serves the counties of Amelia, Brunswick, Buckingham, Charlotte, Cumberland, Dinwiddie, Halifax, Lunenburg, Mecklenburg, Nottoway, Powhatan and Prince Edward. It aims to empower survivors and create a community free from violence for anyone affected by sexual and/or domestic violence, regardless of age, gender, or culture.

The contribution will help the organization meet community needs by providing shelter, counseling, and education to those impacted by domestic violence.

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.
