Service Credit Union joined the New Hampshire Military Youth and Family Program April 15th for Purple Up! day, recognizing the sacrifices of military children with parents deployed overseas.

In 2011, the University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension Military Youth and Family Program started the initiative “Purple Up! For Military Kids” that quickly gained momentum and is now celebrated nationwide.  Wearing the color purple is a visible way to thank military youth for their strength and sacrifices. Purple is the color that symbolizes all branches of the military, as it is a combination of Army green, Coast Guard blue, Air Force blue, Marine red, and Navy blue. 

Service Credit Union staff wore purple shirts and purple ribbons to visibly show their support and celebrate military youth. “We all owe a debt of gratitude to the children of our military service members,” says Gordon Simmons, President/CEO of Service Credit Union. “We honor their sacrifices, and we are committed to supporting them now and in the future.”

Service Credit Union is a full service financial institution with more than 184,000 members worldwide, offering a wide range of financial products to its members.  With 42 branch locations including two staffed 24/7 contact centers, and full internet banking services, Service Credit Union serves anyone who lives or works in New Hampshire (excluding Coos County), 4 towns in Cape Cod, MA., and all branches of the U.S. Military and Department of Defense employees and their families.
