Shop Local. Give Local.


We’re kicking off our 9th annual Shop Local Give Local campaign! This year, the University of Michigan Credit Union is teaming up with Border 2 Border Trail during the holiday season to provide an opportunity for UMCU members to show their local pride by shopping and dining for a good cause.
 

How It Works

From November 1 through December 31, 2024, every time our members make a purchase with their UMCU Visa Platinum Optimum or Visa Cash Rewards credit card at a local participating store, restaurant, or business, UMCU matches one percent of the total sales, (up to a grand total of $7,000) and donates it to the B2B Trail!*

About the Charity


The Huron Waterloo Pathways Initiative (HWPI) is on a mission to connect people, nature, and the great outdoors through non-motorized recreational trails that everyone can enjoy - whether you're walking, biking, running, or just soaking in the beauty of Washtenaw County.


What HWPI Does


Building Trails and Community: HWPI creates and advocates for safe, accessible trails that bring communities together.
Securing Funds: HWPI works with individual donors, public funds, and local partnerships to make these trails a reality.
Inspiring Wellness: Their trails improve mental and physical health through walking programs.
Collaborating for Impact: HWPI partners with the Washtenaw County Parks and Recreation Commission (WCPARC) to build trails through a powerful mix of public support and private funding.


HWPI's Signature Project: The Border to Border (b2b) Trail

The Border to Border (B2B) Trail is a transformative project that will stretch 55 miles across Washtenaw County, connecting communities to nature and each other. With HWPI and WCPARC working hand in hand, this trail is made possible through the support of donations, volunteering, and public backing.
