Pacific Service Credit Union is Dedicated to Community Service

Concord, CA March 31, 2016- Pacific Service Credit Union (Pacific Service CU), a full-service financial institution serving a host of counties in California, continues to play a material philanthropic role within the various communities it serves. The financial institution, based in Concord, CA, recently supported three non-profit organizations, one with programs that aid youth with health challenges, another which assists local families in need of food, and a third supporting a regional childrens hospital. In support of the Diabetes Youth Foundation (DYF), Pacific Service CU provided camp scholarships to two low income children from Concord with type 1 diabetes. The DYF offers a camp for diabetic youth and their families so they can attain the courage, competence and confidence to live well with type 1 diabetes. The credit union has made donations to DYF programs since 2004. Also this quarter, Pacific Service CU donated $10,000 to the summer food program at the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano. The food bank provides food to needy families during the summer months, when donations are historically low. As with the DYF, the credit union has been actively involved with the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano since 2004. In addition to the contributions, Pacific Service CU participated in Valley Childrens Hospitals annual Kids Day celebration. The fundraiser, which occurred on March 8, brought together an estimated 5,000 volunteers, including volunteers from Pacific Service CUs Fresno branch, in an effort to sell a special addition of the Fresno Bee newspaper on street corners throughout Fresno. All funds raised by the sale of the paper went directly to Valley Childrens Hospital, which provides medical treatment to children who live throughout Central California, regardless of their ability to pay. Pacific Service CU contributed $6,000 to this years effort, and has been a sponsor of this event since 2001. In addition to charitable giving on behalf of its members, Pacific Service Credit Union also sponsors events that raise funds for local programs. The 6^th annual Credit Union SacTown Run on April 3 is a cooperative effort by California credit unions to fund programs at childrens hospitals throughout the state. The 10th annual Contra Costa Kops for Kids Run creates funding for active and retired police officers who devote their time to programs that prevent violence, drug abuse, gang activity, and juvenile delinquency within the community. Throughout the year, Pacific Service Credit Union donates approximately $125,000 annually to various 501(c)(3) organizations.
