Glendale, CA (December 24, 2024) |
During November and December, Los Angeles Federal Credit Union (LAFCU) raised $15,500 for its 2024 U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots toy drive. Donations were gathered in their branches, from staff, from PayPal online, and from the donation/transfer function in mobile/online banking. Their initial goal of $5,000 was eclipsed quickly and they ultimately raised $10,500. Along with a $5,000 match from LAFCU’s 501(c)3 charity, the Los Angeles Charitable Association (LACA), the $15,500 donation will pay for over 1,500 toys that will be purchased then given to deserving children during the holidays.
In LAFCU’s branches, 250 toys were donated by members and credit union staff. Since its founding in 1947, the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots foundation has distributed 677 million toys to 301 million deserving children. The foundation is also a 501(c)3 not-for profit public charity and since 2001 has ranked as one of the top-rated charities by “Philanthropy 400.” LAFCU has been a 30-year partner with Toys for Tots and is proud to be a part of its mission.
Anyone living in the Greater Los Angeles, California Metropolitan area can join LAFCU. Founded in 1936, the credit union offers low-rate loans, high-rate savings, mobile banking, access to local and nationwide ATMs and branches, and many beneficial financial products & services.
