Alaska USA Federal Credit Union members contributed $76,300 to support their 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.
Washington branches collected $10,200, which will benefit Northwest Harvest in Seattle, Help House Food Bank in Oak Harbor, Hopelink in Redmond, and the Salvation Army of Bremerton.
“The Cash for Cans 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 by 15 percent. With this year’s total funds, the food banks can provide more than 330,000 pounds of food to families in need.”
