2024 was a great year as we engaged with our members, celebrated our 70th anniversary, and gave back to our communities. Events included monthly Member Appreciation Days, Shred Days, Ohio Catholic Foundation 50/50 raffles, school supply drive, hygiene products drive and pasta food drive. This year, we have even more planned! Be sure to watch for events and opportunities to give back with us.

Holiday Closure Schedule
Click here for our complete list of holidays in 2025 when we are closed. OC Federal observes all federal holidays and Good Friday.

Member Appreciation Day
Member Appreciation Days will continue on the first Friday of the month. Look for a new OC Federal swag item to pick up each month! We would love to share our members’ great smiles with photos. Consider having your photo taken for our Facebook page.

50/50 Raffle to support Catholic education
Tickets can be purchased in branches from February 3 through March 15. Winner will be drawn at the Annual Meeting on March 26. Tickets are $10 each or $50 for 6.

Lenten Food Drive
March 5 through April 12 donate non-perishable food at any OC Federal branch. Lent is good time to offer acts of service as a sacrifice to prepare for Easter. Donations will be delivered to St. Vincent de Paul for families throughout Northeast Ohio.

Summer 50/50 Raffle
Watch for another raffle to benefit Catholic education in May. The winner will be drawn in August to give us the summer to sell those tickets!

August School Supply Drive
OC Federal will provide a list of items most needed by our partner schools. Donations accepted at all branches. Look for dates this summer.

October Hygiene Products Drive
2024 was our first year responding to this specific need identified by St. Vincent de Paul. The drive was a success and will be held again October 18 through November 22. Please look for the request list closer to October.

December Food Drive
We will be in touch with St. Vincent de Paul to determine the greatest need for December. Please look for more information when we get closer to the Food Drive.
