GLCU is proud to support the communities in which its members live. For the second year in a row, GLCU’s Board of Directors adopted an extraordinary plan to give back to its communities; the Branch Managers of each GLCU location work closely with Board Members to find local charities to support on behalf of GLCU.
A Safe Place is the leading advocate for eliminating domestic violence in northern Illinois.
