LAFCU Donates to Local Charities

LAFCU, through its subsidiary Los Angeles Charitable Association, Inc. has earmarked more than $20,000 for non-profit organizations in the Los Angeles area in 2008. LAFCU created LACA in 2006 to collect and distribute funds to deserving local charities. Anyone who joins LACA by making at least a $1 donation enjoys the benefit of helping those in need, plus they are also eligible to join LAFCU.

In March 2008, LAFCU divided $15,000 between the following charities: All City Employees Benefit Services Association (ACEBSA) Tom Bradley Scholarship Fund, Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, Children´s Miracle Network at Children´s Hospital, Los Angeles, City of Hope Hospital, Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Along with accepting cash donations at its branches and checks by mail, LAFCU will sponsor a checkpoint at the Los Angeles March of Dimes "March for Babies" event at Griffith Park on April 26; assist in the construction of a Habitat for Humanity home for a needy family in June; and collect and contribute hundreds of toys for the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve "Toys for Tots" program in December.
