Honor Credit Union: Strengthening Community Connections in Kalamazoo

Share

For over 90 years, Honor Credit Union has been more than just a financial institution—it has been a trusted partner in building stronger communities. As a not-for-profit, Honor reinvests its earnings into its members and the places they call home, providing better rates, fewer fees, and financial solutions designed to help people succeed. In Kalamazoo, that commitment extends beyond banking. It’s about fostering connections, supporting local traditions, and championing the people and businesses that make this city special.

Celebrating 50 Years of K-Wings Hockey

Hockey has been a unifying tradition in Kalamazoo for generations. As a proud sponsor of the Kalamazoo Wings’ 50th Anniversary Season, Honor Credit Union is celebrating this milestone while ensuring the excitement on the ice continues for years to come. The K-Wings are more than just a team—they are a pillar of the community, bringing families, friends, and fans together through shared experiences. Honor’s sponsorship reinforces its commitment to supporting the people of Kalamazoo and the traditions that make the city unique.

Investing in Education and the Next Generation

Honor Credit Union has been deeply connected to education since its founding in 1934 as Berrien Teachers Credit Union. That commitment continues today with investments that support students, educators, and the future workforce. As a $10,000 Catalyst Sponsor for the Kalamazoo RESA Foundation, Honor is helping fund the construction of the new KRESA Career Connect Campus, providing students with access to state-of-the-art resources, career training, and hands-on learning opportunities. By supporting initiatives like this, Honor is ensuring that future generations have the tools, skills, and guidance they need to succeed—because when education thrives, the entire community benefits.

Keeping the Chili Cook-Off Tradition Alive

Great food has a way of bringing people together, and the Downtown Kalamazoo Chili Cook-Off is a perfect example of that. As the presenting sponsor of the event’s 20th anniversary, Honor Credit Union is thrilled to help keep this winter tradition alive. The event highlights local businesses, encourages community engagement, and showcases the unique culture of Kalamazoo. Honor’s involvement goes beyond financial support—it’s about celebrating local flavors, strengthening connections, and bringing people together for an event that has become a winter staple in the city.

Creating Spaces to Connect

Beyond community sponsorships, Honor Credit Union believes in creating spaces where people can connect, collaborate, and grow. The Honor Credit Union Kalamazoo Connect Center serves as a welcoming hub where local businesses, community groups, and individuals can gather for meetings, work sessions, and networking—free of charge. It’s a reflection of Honor’s dedication to building a stronger, more connected Kalamazoo.

A Lasting Commitment to Kalamazoo

From the ice rink to the classroom and everywhere in between, Honor Credit Union remains deeply committed to Kalamazoo. By supporting beloved traditions, investing in education, and providing spaces to connect, Honor continues to put people first—because for 90 years, its success has been built on one simple truth: when the community wins, everyone wins.
