River Cities Credit Union Grand Opening
River Cities Community Credit Union was established in 1958 and is committed to improving the financial well-being of our members. Membership is available to anyone who lives, works, worships, or is a member of an organization in Atchison, Brown, Doniphan, Jackson, Jefferson or Leavenworth counties. "Local People Helping Local People" is the credit union motto and we strive to put that into action. We are collecting for area charities this holiday season and hope to write some big checks in December. River Cities recently purchased the building at 513 Commercial Street and moved October 23rd.
Join us for our Grand Opening and After Hours on November 10th from 5:00pm-6:30pm. Help us celebrate with hors d'oeuvres and refreshments. River Cities Credit Union is located at 513 Commercial St, Atchison, KS 66002.
