Longview, Washington-based Fibre Federal Credit Union and TLC are continuing its Communities First Program, a multi-year sponsorship for selected community colleges and hospitals within the eleven Washington and Oregon counties it serves. Fibre Federal and TLC place a high priority on supporting educational and healthcare-related services throughout their communities, and that mission developed into the Communities First Program in 2018.

To date, the credit union has donated $145,000 to Communities First recipients, including four community college foundations and eight hospital foundations. Donation funds support supplemental meal programs, student scholarships, child literacy programs, and a variety of other community-centered initiatives.

The Communities First Program foundation recipients are:

• Adventist Health Tillamook
• Clatsop Community College
• Columbia Memorial Hospital
• Lower Columbia College
• Ocean Beach Hospital
• Oregon Coast Community College
• Pacific Communities Health District
• PeaceHealth St. John Medical Center
• Providence Seaside Hospital
• Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital
• Tillamook Bay Community College
• Willapa Harbor Hospital
