Kindred is deeply saddened to learn of Ernie's passing. Ernie served as a Board Member at Kindred Credit Union (then Mennonite Savings and Credit Union) for 10 years and made a deep, lasting impact on our governance and all those he interacted with. We extend condolences to his family and friends during this difficult time. You can read his obituary here: https://lnkd.in/gM_pahpi

Every year, all #KindredCreditUnion team members gather together to participate in a day-long educational and development session. This year, Kindred team members had the opportunity to speak with our Senior Leadership Team, engage in relevant discussions and activities, play some trivia to test their Kindred knowledge, and learn more about future strategy and direction for our credit union. It was about building connections, strengthening those connections with our members, and understanding the many different ways we can connect with our communities. What's an event without a group photo?! Check out this behind-the-scenes shot (literally from behind). Many thanks to Creekside Church Waterloo for hosting, Gracie's Country Oven for catering, KW Headshots for the photo, Kindred leaders for open dialogue, and Kindred's HR team for putting together this event! #60Years #MakePeaceWithYourMoney #ConnectionDay2024

At Kindred, we recognize that hunger is a pressing issue facing many members of our community. This November, each of our eight branches have partnered with a local community organization that is working to address hunger. Help us address Hunger in your local community! All Kindred branches are collecting financial donations (that we will match up to $3,000 per branch) and non-perishable food items to be donated to their selected organization. Check out the displays in our branches! For more information visit: https://lnkd.in/gTm_eyEd

Today is Banking on Values Day - a day to promote a more sustainable financial system. The theme for this year is "Transforming Banking. Transforming Lives." What does that mean? #BankingOnValuesDay is about transforming banking that provides products and services to our members that also address our communities' needs. We do this in many different ways: offering a wealth of choices when it comes to investments, products, and services that connect values and faith with finances. We offer unique products, like our GICs, which incorporate socially responsible investing into your portfolio, while providing you the opportunity to support your community in ways that matter most to you. Learn more about those products here: https://bit.ly/3M16OLc Kindred is rooted in our founders’ radical vision to see mutual aid put into faithful practice – individuals or groups bearing one another’s burdens, helping each other out in times of need and in times of plenty. Simply put, it means supporting each other in community to achieve mutual wellbeing. We build relationships with community organizations through sponsorships, volunteering, and gifts-in-kind. We believe that our communities benefit from this support and that our actions inspire our staff and members to live out their values in visible ways. Our partnerships and people, our giving and programs, combine to create a unique approach that helps inspire peaceful, just, and prosperous communities. You can learn more about how we work with partner organizations through the Kindred Charitable Fund, on our blog: https://bit.ly/4cF7xwJ All of this comes together to show how we #TransformBanking to #TransformLives - by Living Our Values Every day, by practicing mutual aid, and finding ways to connect finances with values and faith. This is how we make an impact and create viable, lasting change in our communities. #KindredCreditUnion #GABV #BankingOnValuesDay2024 #MakePeaceWithYourMoney #Ontario
