Retire Your Flags at GNFCU

Do you have an old, tattered, faded, or worn American Flag? Do you know how to dispose of an American Flag when it is no longer in proper condition to fly? Not many people do. Kyle Loughrey who has been a Boy Scout with Troop 824 for the past 7 years, saw this as a very important community issue in Niagara County and made this the center of his Eagle Scout Project.

“When I heard about Kyle's project, I knew that this would be another great way for us to give back to our community” said Jennifer Grier, a spokesperson for Greater Niagara FCU. “With a branch at 2901 Military Road, Niagara Falls and 160 Ward Road, North Tonawanda, we know that our locations are convenient for many local families to drop off their flags to be retired”.

2018 Personal Management badge

Greater Niagara FCU is the proud sponsor of the 2018 Personal Management badge for our area. 30 boy scouts will have the opportunity to complete the Personal Management badge with the help of Greater Niagara FCU this year. This is a required badge for anyone looking to become an Eagle Scout.

April is YOUTH MONTH.

We are celebrating “The Science of Saving” with giveaways and prizes. We are also collecting new stuffed animals for the CAC of Niagara. Our goal is 300 stuffed animals collected in April. This would be enough stuffed animals to last the CAC of Niagara 1 year.
