Open a Box of Generosity this Fall

All credit unions in Newfoundland and Labrador are working together to hold an annual Fall Food Drive in support of local food banks and the Community Food Sharing Association.

Donations of non-perishable foods and/or cash are being accepted at all 37 credit union branch locations in Newfoundland and Labrador – including all 12 NLCU locations – until November 13, 2026.

Non-perishable food donations will go to local food banks.

Cash donations will be given to the Community Food Sharing Association (CFSA), which distributes food to 60 food banks in the province. For every $10 donated, the CFSA distributes $205 worth of donated food.

• 30% of our people live in a food-insecure household.

Fraud Alert: Impersonation Scam

Members should be aware of a new fraud scam taking place whereby you may receive a telephone call from someone claiming to be a representative of NLCU.

In these calls, the scammer may claim there is an issue with transactions, suspicious activity, or a problem that requires immediate action. They may ask for personal information such as account numbers, online banking credentials, multi-factor verification codes, or other sensitive details.

NLCU will never ask for your online banking login credentials or multi-factor authentication codes. If you receive a call from someone claiming to be from NLCU and you are unsure of their identity, please hang up and call 1 (800) 563-3300.

As a reminder, you should always verify through official NLCU channels any unexpected or suspicious contact claiming to originate from your credit union.

Protect Your Personal Information

Telephone calls from scammers pretending to be from reputable companies to trick you into revealing personal information are a form of impersonation scamming. Here are a few important tips to remember to protect against these scams:

• Be suspicious of unsolicited phone calls
• Never assume that phone numbers appearing on your call display are accurate
• Hang up and make the outgoing call when someone claims to be contacting you from your credit union, service provider, law enforcement or government agency
• Verify information through official channels
• Be cautious about providing personal information
