The First Financial Foundation

Since 1994, First Financial Federal Credit Union has supported the Monmouth & Ocean County communities with the Erma Dorrer Scholarship Program. Today, that program has been extended into the First Financial Foundation to assist charitable organizations and it supports a variety of local programs within our community, such as classroom grants and more.

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer

Join us in our fight against breast cancer by supporting the First Financial Fighters on Sunday, October 18th! Every year, the First Financial Fighters walk and raise money for the American Cancer Society by participating in Making Strides Against Breast Cancer in Pt. Pleasant Beach, NJ. This walk is a celebration of courage and hope - uniting communities to raise funds for lifesaving research, spread awareness, and fight to end breast cancer. All donations go to the American Cancer Society and make a difference in the lives of patients, their families and friends, doctors, and researchers who are working tirelessly to help find a cure. If you are interested in donating to support this important cause, visit our team donation page or visit one of our branches. Think pink!

2026 Holiday Charity Drives

Help us help those in our local community this holiday season! All First Financial branch locations will serve as collection sites to help provide items to those in need in Monmouth and Ocean Counties starting on October 13th.

Through Monday, November 30th we will be collecting new/unopened toys and games for children ages 5-17, who are undergoing pediatric cancer treatment in NJ for the Ashley Lauren Foundation. The Foundation recommends avoiding the purchasing of stuffed animals, puzzles, and items with scary or violent themes (please, no toy weapons).
Through Friday, December 11th we will be collecting unexpired, non-perishable food items for Fulfill of Monmouth and Ocean. You can view Fulfill's list of most needed items on their website.
