HOLIDAY DONATIONS

Los Angeles Federal Credit Union, Glendale, Calif., collected more than 700 toys for the annual “Toys for Tots” Toy Drive. LAFCU employees and members were invited to donate an unwrapped toy to one of the Credit Union’s six branches. Toys from bicycles to Barbie Dolls were collected and were donated to local needy children for the holidays. LAFCU has partnered with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves Toys for Tots Program for more than a decade to give thousands of toys to disadvantaged children in the Los Angeles area.

American First Credit Union, La Habra, Calif., organized its fourth annual Angel Tree gift campaign to collect gifts for the children and teens of the Crittenton Services for Family and Children. The Angel Tree was filled with gift tags and wish lists in the AFCU La Habra corporate office for employees to voluntarily choose a tag. Nearly 150 employees donated gifts that included blankets, shoes, games, baby items, and toys for the abused and neglected children. The AFCU’s “Spirit of Service” committee organized the campaign and organizes numerous community events to benefit Orange County.
