Shop Local. Give Local.
We’re kicking off our 8th annual Shop Local Give Local campaign! This year, the University of Michigan Credit Union is teaming up with the Ann Arbor Community Center during the holiday season to provide an opportunity for UMCU members to show their local pride by shopping and dining for a good cause.
How It Works
From November 1 through December 31, 2023, every time our members make a purchase with their UMCU Visa Platinum Optimum or Visa Cash Rewards credit card at a local participating store, restaurant, or business, UMCU matches one percent of the total sales, (up to a grand total of $5,000) and donates it to the Ann Arbor Community Center!**

About the Charity
With a primary focus on socioeconomically disadvantaged youth, adults, and families, the Ann Arbor Community Center provides programs and services that promote self-reliance, social and economic well-being, diversity, and community involvement. We combine our local volunteers and funding from our local community to provide:
- High-quality programs
- Information
- AACC Closets
- Family Mentoring
- Food distribution
- And so much more
Shop For Your Chance to Win $1,000
As an added bonus, UMCU is also giving away $1,000 to five lucky members who make a purchase with their card at participating businesses during the campaign period. All you have to do is shop locally at one of the participating businesses, and you're automatically entered for a chance to win!**
