America First Credit Union capped the 2018 year in the giving spirit and donated $10,000 to 10 organizations at its annual Community Assistance Holiday Giving event on Wednesday, Dec. 12 at the Davis Conference Center in Layton, Utah.
Representatives from the 10 organizations, spanning across Utah and Southern Nevada, accepted donations from America First on behalf of their charities. 2018 recipients include: Christmas Box International, The Road Home, SafeNest, The Lantern House Homeless Shelter, YCC of Northern Utah, the Cathedral of the Madeline Good Samaritan Program, For the Kids, Three Square, the Food & Care Coalition and the Catholic Community Services Joyce Hansen Hall Food Bank.
The Community Assistance Holiday Giving event is funded by the America First Credit Union Charitable Foundation which supports several programs including the Warm the Soles of Kids holiday shoe giving program, educational scholarships and the Community Assistance Program.
The mission of the Community Assistance Program is to provide funds to assist the homeless and other disadvantaged individuals in the communities America First serves. Money for the Community Assistance Program is raised through America First Credit Union member donations and distributed to organizations that provide job assistance, training, housing, food and medical attention to those in need.
