We’re proud to be a local financial institution that is deeply invested in the communities and people we serve. One of the ways we show this commitment is by sharing our profits through projects and scholarships to make life better where we live.

Events

It was great to be able to get out in the communities we serve. Take a look at some of our fond memoires of a few of the past events we attended or hosted and causes we have supported so far this year.

Volunteering

Giving back to our communities is a value and commitment that guides us every day, whether it's providing financial support to groups or organizations or showing up ready to work at local events in the cities and towns that we serve.

Second Bounce Documentary

Health is about more than physical wellbeing. Even for elite athletes. Second Bounce, a documentary produced by Two-Fold Productions, will peel back the layers of the journey of the Lakeland Rustlers Women’s Basketball team in 2022. Personalities connect and collide as a diverse group of female athletes battle personal obstacles post-pandemic as they defend their title and vie for redemption at nationals.

We are committed to the increased financial and mental wellbeing of our members and community, and we see this as an opportunity to highlight that message through the incredible storytelling involved in Second Bounce. 

“It is another way for us to reach our members and non-members with the message to make sure you are taking care of yourself in a holistic manner – mentally, physically, financially. It all matters,” said Synergy CEO Glenn Stang.
