Our commitment goes beyond financing
Farm Credit of the Virginias values our customer-owners and the rural communities we serve. We recognize the importance of the places our customers, employees, and business affiliates call home. For that reason, we dedicate resources to our communities and the organizations and individuals keeping them strong.
Our community engagement ranges from concerted local efforts to larger-scale regional support. Causes we're passionate about, and continue to seek out opportunities to support, include food security in our footprint, veteran services and resources, youth agriculture involvement and literacy, disaster relief, and more. Check out some of our recent social responsibility opportunities below.
