We are a member-owned, not-for-profit financial institution with a dedication to Finance Your Future.
Glendale, CA (December 21, 2021) –– Los Angeles Federal Credit Union (LAFCU) raised $12,000 in donations for their 2021 Toys for Tots toy drive. Due to the COVID19 pandemic, instead of collecting toys, funds were raised online and in our branches. Our $5,000 goal got eclipsed quickly and we ultimately raised $7,000 - surpassing the goal by 40%. LAFCU also matched up to $5,000 through its charity, the Los Angeles Charitable Association, bringing the total donated to $12,000.
All proceeds raised will be used to buy then distribute toys to less fortunate kids in the Greater Los Angeles Area during the holidays. The U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots foundation distributes more than 18 million toys to 7 million children annually. The foundation is a 501(c)3 not-for profit public charity, and 97% of donations go directly to its mission of helping children. LAFCU has been a 25+ year partner with Toys for Tots and is proud to be a part of its mission.
Anyone who lives in most counties of Southern California can join LAFCU and take advantage of its financial services. For details, visit www.LAFCU.org, call (877) MY LAFCU (695-2328), or visit a branch.
