Donations

Advantis Credit Union, Portland, Ore., helped address the Portland area’s need for nonperishable, high-protein foods for hungry families and children. The credit union raised $7,300 in cash contributions and encouraged members and neighbors to help them fill food barrels stationed in branch lobbies. Donors could buy $1 cans of tuna in Advantis branches. A total of 5,000 cans were purchased and donated to the Portland Police Bureau Sunshine Division.

Allegacy Federal Credit Union, Winston-Salem, N.C., held a holiday giveaway for five random members who used their Allegacy Visa check cards for signature-based transactions of $50 or more. The winners were each given $1,000 and were asked to select a charitable organization to receive an additional $1,000. The local charities chosen were Prodigals Community in Winston-Salem, Hospice and Palliative CareCenter, the Derrick L. Davis Forsyth Regional Cancer Center, the Joan & Howard Woltz Hospice Home, and the Ronald McDonald House.
