Community Involvement

Rooted in Community. Committed to Caring.

At Ripco Credit Union, community isn't just part of our mission—it’s the heart of everything we do. Serving Rhinelander, Eagle River, and Minocqua, we believe that when we support our neighbors, we all grow stronger together. That’s why we’re proud to go beyond banking and roll up our sleeves to make a real difference in the Northwoods.

Investing in the Next Generation

Each year, Ripco proudly awards scholarships to graduating high school seniors across our service areas. We believe in helping young people chase their dreams—whether they’re headed to college, technical school, or another path that helps them grow into the leaders of tomorrow.

Fighting Hunger, One Box at a Time

Our team regularly volunteers at local food pantries, helping to sort donations, serve families, and provide vital resources to those facing food insecurity. Hunger has no place in our communities, and we’re committed to being part of the solution.
