November 30, 2016
Anchorage, Alaska – Alaska USA Federal Credit Union members contributed $80,400 to support community food banks during the annual Cash for Cans food drive.
The credit union and the Alaska USA Foundation teamed up for the fundraiser, collecting cash donations at Alaska USA branches during the month of September. Donations will assist 19 food banks in Alaska, Maricopa County Arizona, the High Desert region of California, and Washington.
“Cash for Cans was created to make it easy for members to give back to the community,” said Phenie Miller, Senior Vice President, Branch Administration. “Our members stepped up again this year and exceeded last year’s donations. With the amount raised this year, the food banks can provide more than 330,000 pounds of food to families in need.”
