Shop Local Give Local

We’re kicking off our 10th annual Shop Local Give Local campaign! 

In 2025, EMUCU is teaming up with the Children's Literacy Network during the holiday season to provide an opportunity for EMUCU members to show their local pride by shopping and dining for a good cause.

How It Works

From November 18 through January 31, 2026 every time our members make a purchase with their EMUCU Visa® Platinum Optimum credit card, Visa® Cash Rewards credit card, or their EMUCU debit card at a local participating store, restaurant, or business, EMUCU matches 1% of the total sales, (up to a grand total of $5,000) and donates it to the Children's Literacy Network*
