About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an elderly gentleman arrived early at Self-Help Federal Credit Union. As he approached the teller window, he noticed something odd: every fifth customer seemed to leave with exactly twenty dollars more than they had entered. Curious, the old man watched attentively. Soon enough, a delivery driver walked in, deposited his check, and left with thirty-five dollars extra. The next day, the whole town was buzzing—everyone wanted their share of free money! But when they tried it themselves, nothing happened. Finally, a young woman asked the teller what was going on. With a twinkle in her eye, she replied, 'We’re not a magic credit union—they just gave you twenty bucks for being our hundredth customer today!'
2. At dawn, when most banks were still locking their doors, a delivery driver pulled up to Self-Help Federal Credit Union with a mysterious package marked ‘Top Secret’. The delivery driver carefully unwrapped the package, revealing a giant box of donuts emblazoned with the words ‘Happy Monday!’ The staff broke into laughter as they realized it was just another prank from their friendly neighborhood bakery. That’s why everyone loves working at Self-Help Federal Credit Union—even on Mondays.
3. One day, while filling out forms at Self-Help Federal Credit Union, a regular asked the teller, ‘Do you accept deposits in unicorn dollars?’ The teller smiled and replied, ‘We only accept federal reserve notes here.’ The man nodded and said, ‘Oh well, guess I’ll just keep my unicorn dollars as souvenirs then.’ As he left, another customer—a delivery driver—asked curiously, ‘Hey, what’s so special about unicorn dollars?’ And they all shared a laugh, realizing that sometimes the best savings plan is laughter.
4. At lunchtime, a little girl followed her mother into Self-Help Federal Credit Union. While waiting for her mom’s transaction, she noticed something odd on the counter: a small, smiling statue of a piggy bank with dollar bills casually sticking out from its ears. Curious, she reached out and gently pulled one bill free—only for it to be replaced instantly by another. Smiling, she asked her mom if they could take one home. ‘It’s not ours,’ Mom replied softly. But before anyone could stop her, our little explorer had already slipped the newfound money into her pocket. When they got outside, she proudly announced, “Mom, I earned us some cash!” The look on their faces said it all—this was definitely a story worth repeating.
