Folds of Honor New England has announced a new partnership with Service Credit Union, which is joining the chapter as a full founding partner alongside Dane Street and AON.

The partnership reflects Service Credit Union’s ongoing commitment to first responders, law enforcement, public safety professionals, and the families who support them. As part of the agreement, Service Credit Union will fund annual Folds of Honor scholarships dedicated to first responder families across New England.

The scholarships will honor law enforcement and public safety professionals, including the unions that Service Credit Union serves: PFFNH, Professional Fire Fighters of New Hampshire; PFFM, Professional Fire Fighters of Massachusetts; MASSCOP, Massachusetts Coalition of Police; SPAM, State Police Association of Massachusetts; and NHSTA, New Hampshire State Troopers Association.

Founded in 1957, Service Credit Union is now the largest credit union in New Hampshire. The credit union says its mission is to improve the financial well-being of those who serve, protect, and strengthen communities. It operates branches across New England and on U.S. military installations overseas, and it says its legacy includes support for service members, veterans, first responders, and their families through financial solutions, community partnerships, and direct impact.

“First responders show up for our communities every day, often in the most difficult moments, and we believe their families deserve to feel that same level of support in return,” said Jaime Yates, AVP of Community Development at Service Credit Union. “This partnership with Folds of Honor New England allows us to take our commitment beyond words and turn it into meaningful, lasting action. By funding annual scholarships in honor of the public safety unions we proudly serve, we are helping create educational opportunities for the spouses and children of those who have sacrificed so much for our communities.”

Since 2007, Folds of Honor has provided educational scholarships to the spouses and children of America’s fallen or disabled military service members. Since 2022, the organization has also extended that support to the families of first responders, a broader focus that has helped chapters like New England tie local fundraising directly to families in the public safety community.

Service Credit Union’s partnership is one of the most significant commitments the chapter has received since its launch in May 2024, and it expands the organization’s ability to serve first responder communities across New England.

“Welcoming Service Credit Union as a founding partner is a tremendous moment for our chapter,” said Robbie Zalzneck, Chapter Director, Folds of Honor New England. “Their dedication to New England’s law enforcement and public safety community aligns perfectly with our mission. This partnership will fuel opportunity, hope, and a brighter future for the families of those who serve on the front lines.”

For the 2025/2026 academic year, Folds of Honor New England awarded 14 scholarships to first responder families in the region. The chapter said the new partnership will help expand the number of available scholarships and broaden its impact across New England.

Each scholarship will assist a qualified recipient pursuing any level of education or a skilled-trade pathway, reflecting the chapter’s focus on both traditional college access and other training routes that can lead to careers.
