ABBOTSFORD, B.C. -- Farming is hard work and requires a lot of thoughtful planning to be a success.
COVID-19 has introduced many challenges for the agricultural industry. Supply chain disruptions and labour shortages are just some of the obstacles agribusinesses have had to overcome.
To run a successful agricultural business, it is important to have supportive resources to bring growth goals to life.
Envision Financial is a credit union that has longstanding roots in fishing, farming and agriculture.
It's been serving these sectors since 1946.
One element that sets it apart is that decision-making is done locally. Regional agribusiness specialists take the time to know each business they serve.
From business operations to personal finances, Envision Financial is a credit union that is equipped to meet its clients' unique needs.
It's important to the Envision Financial team to give back to the communities they serve. That is why it established the Full Cupboard program.
The program is designed to raise food, funds and awareness for food banks for local communities.
It has commited to raising at least $1 million.
In 2019, more than $166,880 was raised and more than 6,648 pounds of food was collected by its employees, members and community partners.
