The Wescom Credit Union
WeCare Foundation
The Wescom Credit Union WeCare Foundation was founded in 1999 as a charitable, not-for-profit organization formed by employees of Wescom Credit Union to help people in need through charitable giving and volunteerism.
WeCare focuses on identifying and sponsoring volunteer opportunities for employees, as well as providing a vehicle for tax-deductible charitable contributions through payroll deductions, which are, in turn, matched dollar for dollar by Wescom Credit Union.
