WPCCU Proudly Supports Our Veterans
WPCCU was honored to join the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power at the Veterans Alliance for Leadership, Outreach, and Recognition (VALOR) Veterans Day Event on November 4, 2026.
We thank the VALOR team for inviting WPCCU to serve as the event’s sponsor to host veterans and active-duty service members within the LADWP community. Together, we share a commitment to honor those who have served our country.
We were excited to meet U.S. Marine Corps veteran and California State Senator Caroline Menjivar, who represents District 20 which covers Burbank and parts of the San Fernando Valley. As the keynote speaker, she delivered a heartfelt message to LADWP veterans, executives, and employees.
It is a pleasure to support the veterans and service members who have served our country. We deeply appreciate their courage, sacrifice, and dedication, and are proud to stand beside them today and every day.
Gratitude and Volunteerism
In September, team members from our Hope Street Branch participated in VALOR’s commemoration of the 25th anniversary of September 11 at the John Ferraro Building. Against the backdrop of the downtown Los Angeles skyline, hundreds gathered to pay tribute to the lost lives and honor those who answered the call to serve.
In November, WPCCU team members will join the Veterans Advocacy Group of America (VAGA) at its 11th Annual Veterans Thanksgiving Appreciation Dinner at Bob Hope Patriotic Hall in Los Angeles. Our volunteers will help serve meals and welcome veterans and their families.
This year, VAGA aims to provide free Thanksgiving meal packages to 400 veterans and their families, as well as more than 100 veterans and families experiencing homelessness—continuing a heartfelt tradition of support that’s been going strong for over 15 years.
We’re honored to take part in this celebration of gratitude, giving back to the men and women who’ve given so much for our freedom.
WPCCU: Proud to Serve Those Who Served
Honoring Service, Building Community
Established in 2024, LADWP’s VALOR (Veterans Alliance for Leadership, Outreach and Recognition) is a resource group that promotes a supportive workplace for veterans and their advocates through networking, mentorship, community service, and recruitment.
At WPCCU, we’re proud to sponsor and participate in VALOR events throughout the year. These programs recognize LADWP employees who are veterans or currently serving in the military. VALOR’s membership has grown to more than 300 members, representing diverse backgrounds and job classifications—from engineers to field utility workers—united in service and support.
Our commitment to veterans extends beyond events. It’s a part of who we are. Through financial education, partnerships, and community involvement, WPCCU remains dedicated to helping veterans and their families achieve stability, empowerment, and financial well-being.
