Alaska USA Federal Credit Union members contributed nearly $50,000 to support their community food banks during the annual Cash and Cans food drive. The credit union and the Alaska USA Foundation teamed up for the fundraiser, collecting cash donations at Alaska USA branches in three states.
The credit union branches collected funds and more than 1,200 pounds of food, which were donated to 16 food banks in Alaska, Washington, and the High Desert region of California. The donations will benefit Northwest Harvest and Hopelink in the Greater Seattle area, and Help House Food Bank in Oak Harbor.“The food drive makes it easy for members to donate when they come into a branch,” said Janell Adams, Senior Vice President, Branch Administration. “We’re proud that members stepped up again this year and exceeded last year’s amount. With this year’s funds, the food banks will provide even more for local families in need.”
