VyStar Credit Union is celebrating its 4th year of Good is everywhere, spotlighting the good that is being done by non-profits across our communities. From September 10–30, individuals across Florida and Georgia will get to experience local non-profits by enjoying free access to 30 cultural, educational and sporting events made possible through community partnerships. Additionally, employees will invest thousands of volunteer hours across partner non-profits throughout the community.
“VyStar members are the reason we’re able to make a difference,” said VyStar President/CEO Brian Wolfburg. “Good is everywhere celebrates not only the community partners that enrich our lives, but also honors our members, who make these partnerships and experiences possible. This is our way of saying thank you and giving members a chance to experience the impact of their support firsthand.”

This year’s projects include revitalizing residential dorms at Pine Castle in Jacksonville, stocking the shelves of Kennesaw State University’s CARE food pantry, hands-on STEM experiences in Jacksonville and Orlando, and helping families in Savannah create welcoming homes through Family Promise of the Coastal Empire.
In 2024, VyStar employees donated nearly 7,000 hours to nonprofits during Good is everywhere, a tradition that continues to grow because of the support and commitment of our members.
