ANNUAL FALL TAILGATE!

We wanted to share an exciting update about Serve Credit Union’s Annual Fall Tailgate. Due to construction of a new charter school at E 5th and Court Avenue, we’re no longer able to use our parking lot or close E 5th Street as we have in the past. Because of these onsite limitations, hosting the event at our Court Ave Branch just wouldn’t be safe or impactful.

But the good news? We’ve found a great new location to celebrate!

This year, we’re hosting our Annual Fall Tailgate at The Shop DSM Event Center - who generously sponsored our use of their space! We’re thrilled to continue this tradition and share the Serve Credit Union difference with both current and potential members!
