In 1949, a group of employees at the Hershey Chocolate Company formed the Hershey Employees #464 Federal Credit Union. In 1982, the name was changed to Hershey Federal Credit Union to reflect the Board's policy of open membership to groups within the Hershey Chocolate Company (now known as The Hershey Company) and other related groups in the Hershey area. The Chocolate Workers Local #464 was a solid supporter of the credit union and provided office space for most of the years until 1980. That was the year that the credit union purchased and moved into the first office building at 904 East Chocolate Avenue, Hershey. Since 1980, the credit union has grown, in membership and asset size, and in ways to serve the members. In 1988, the membership was expanded to include other companies in the Hershey area. In April of 1998, a new branch was opened in Cleona. Then, in November of 2003, HFCU became a Community Chartered credit union with membership open to anyone who lives, works, worships, or attends school in the Dauphin County and Lebanon County community. HFCU remains a local financial institution, able to fulfill the financial needs of our neighbors, our company affiliates, and all the people in our community who are looking for stability and friendliness in their financial services provider. HFCU is federally insured by the National Credit Union Administration and an Equal Opportunity & Housing Lender.
