Desert Valleys FCU

Additionally, we opened our second branch location in Ridgecrest in 1999 on Balsam Street. This allowed us to serve many of our current members and open our doors to many new ones. In 2007, we built our main branch location in the Ridgecrest Business Park. Our facility supports community groups, events, and of course serving our members.

As a member of Desert Valleys, you will take advantage of one of the most unique financial opportunities of a lifetime. You will become an owner of the place you do your banking! Desert Valleys is owned by its members and there are no "outside" stockholders. All of the funds utilized to support the credit union come from our community.

Desert Valleys is proud of our ALVA (Artists Living in the Valley Area) program which features a local artist each year. The program, which further reflects the credit union's mission of community growth and involvement, is fairly simple in its function. The program allocates a $1,000 purchase of art from a local artist each year for display in our Community Resource Center.

If you would like to be considered for appointment to the Board of Directors or Supervisory Committee, please send a resume and cover letter stating your interest to the credit union's mailing address or via email at info@desertvalleys.org. Positions may not always be available, but your interest and information will be kept on file for possible openings.

To take our community outreach and financial education efforts to the next level, we launched a 501(c)(3) corporation the Desert Valleys Employees Foundation. It provides the ability for credit union employees and volunteers to raise money and broaden assistance to local community organizations.

The Foundation's goal is to provide financial support to organizations which improve the quality of our member's lives and seek to improve the financial literacy of children and adults within our community.To raise funds, the Foundation relies on the financial support of the employees and volunteers of DVFCU.
