Kindred Credit Union celebrates 60 years Making Peace with Money
Published on July 5, 2024
On March 21, 1964, twenty-two Waterloo County Mennonites got together and deposited $22 in a cash box to create our credit union. Their radical vision was to see mutual aid put into faithful practice – individuals or groups bearing one another’s burdens, helping each other out in times of need and in times of plenty. Six decades later and Kindred still encourages and fosters mutual aid among our members.
A lot has changed since 1964, yet who we are has remained woven into the fabric of our credit union. With variations of how we’ve expressed ourselves throughout the years, we have adapted and we continue to adapt, with our foundation remaining strong.
