Herndon, Va. (May 15, 2018) – Northwest Federal Credit Union has forged two new Community Partner relationships, each including a $5,000 donation and employee volunteer hours. The first with Sprout Therapeutic Riding and Education Center (Sprout) in Aldie, VA and the other with Western Fairfax Christian Ministries (WFCM) in Chantilly, VA.
