From Florence's First Fridays to Columbia's Mule Day, we get excited about meeting our members out in the community.

One of Listerhill’s goals is to support what is important to our members. Every year, Listerhill ask members and employees to participate in a charitable contribution survey which helps Listerhill choose the fundraising efforts members are passionate about. Two non-profits that always rise to the top of this list are American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life and St. Jude.
Listerhill and its employees have raised money for Relay for Life each year since 1995, raising nearly $100,000 over the last 10 years. In the Spring, branches sell t-shirts and wristbands to raise funds and awareness for this annual campaign.
Listerhill also supports St. Jude with an annual Fall fundraising campaign. In additional to this fundraiser, Listerhill donates $.50 to St. Jude for every deposit made into Good Start Savings account at no cost to you.
The Keystone Card is Listerhill's newest debit card that provides you an easy way to support UNA! For every purchase, Listerhill donates a portion of the amount you spend back to the University's students, alumni, athletics, and advancement programs.

In the past, we charged a $10 Relationship Fee to help cover the cost of servicing members' accounts. We felt we could serve you better by removing this fee and establishing a lower fee based on your investment in the cooperative. Encouraging our members to save and borrow with us is key to Listerhill's sustainability, plus it creates value that it ultimately returned back to our member owners (like you!)
