Coins For Community

Your Loose Change Makes A Difference

Each of our branches is equipped with coin machines for members to use to count their loose change. There is a nominal fee for using the coin machines, which the Credit Union matches and donates to our quarterly Coins for Community partner.

Since 2015, Beach Municipal FCU and our members have donated more than $30,893.24 to our Coins for Community partners.
 

The Legacy of Service: Oceana Volunteer Fire Department

Founded in 1948, the Oceana Volunteer Fire Department (OVFD) stands as the only active volunteer fire organization within the City of Virginia Beach. Operating in seamless partnership with the VBFD, its members provide essential on-scene support, including firefighting assistance and the operation of the city’s primary Rehabilitation (REHAB) unit. Beyond emergency response, the OVFD is a champion for the future of the trade, hosting the Fire Cadet program for young adults ages 15–21. Whether through administrative expertise or on-the-ground support, the OVFD remains a vital, volunteer-driven heartbeat of city safety

More Than Just Firefighting

The OVFD isn't just about the sirens; it’s a versatile team that leverages the diverse skill sets of our community. Their membership is composed of:

• Volunteer Support Technicians & Firefighters: These individuals work side-by-side with career staff, providing critical on-scene assistance at everything from vehicle accidents to major structural fires.

• The REHAB Specialists: One of the OVFD’s most vital roles is operating the VBFD’s primary Rehabilitation (REHAB) unit. This specialized truck provides the air, light, equipment support, and refreshments necessary to keep emergency personnel safe and hydrated during long, grueling incidents.

• Training & Admin Experts: Backed by certified instructors and a meticulous administrative team, the OVFD ensures that every volunteer is prepared to meet the highest standards of safety and professional documentation.
