We had a great time at the Downtown Sharon Farmers Market last week. There’s nothing better than seeing a community come together to support local farmers and small businesses.
Community events like these are always a highlight for our team. They allow us to connect with our members, meet new faces, and be part of what makes our community so special.
Congratulations to the Downtown Sharon Farmers Market on a successful kick-off! We can’t wait to come back.
Mercer County Community Federal Credit Union (MCCFCU) has been recognized with two MIC (Market, Innovate, Create) Awards from the CrossState Credit Union Association.
Presented during CrossState’s annual Evoke Marketing Conference, the MIC Awards recognize excellence in credit union marketing and communications. MCCFCU was chosen from credit unions across Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
The Credit Union received awards for Best Annual Report, titled Reflecting on Our Journey: As We Support Our Community, and for Best Integrated Marketing Campaign for its efforts during CU Kind Month. This annual initiative celebrates the credit union philosophy of People Helping People through member appreciation and community service.
MCCFCU received national recognition earlier this year with a Diamond Award from America’s Credit Unions in the category of Ongoing Event for the CU Kind Month campaign.
“Receiving these awards is a tremendous honor,” said Sandi Carangi, CEO of MCCFCU. “We are especially proud to be recognized for efforts that highlight our commitment to both our members and the communities we serve.”

At Mercer County Community Federal Credit Union (MCCFCU), supporting the community means investing in its youngest members. Earlier this month, MCCFCU welcomed the Ionta Essentials Club for an interactive field trip focused on financial literacy. The group consists of 25 fifth-grade Ionta Elementary School students led by teacher Mike Wilson.
The Essentials Club began in 2024, following the Credit Union’s sponsorship of Ionta students to attend Junior Achievement of Western PA’s JA BizTown. JA BizTown is an immersive mock town where students assume professional roles within their businesses, designed to expose them to real-world scenarios through hands-on activities. This experience inspired the Essentials Club to operate an in-school business where they sell items such as erasers, pencils, and school supplies.
During the field trip, students learned about careers at the Credit Union. Students practiced writing checks and counting money. Students were also given the opportunity to take a tour of the building and ask questions. “I was very impressed with their questions,” said Sandi Carangi, CEO of MCCFCU. “Their interest in managing finances at such a young age is important to developing life-long skills in budgeting, spending, and saving.”
Mercer County Community Federal Credit Union is a proud supporter of financial literacy initiatives throughout the community.
We’re excited to announce that we were voted Best of the Best Credit Union and Best Loans by our wonderful community. Serving our members for over 69 years, we’re incredibly grateful for this recognition and thrilled to be named Best Credit Union for the 11th year in a row.
We want to give a huge heartfelt THANK YOU to our community for choosing us! Your support inspires us to keep making a difference.
