ANCHORAGE, ALASKA – Alaska USA Federal Credit Union members contributed generous
funds in support of the Alaska USA Foundation’s annual Cash for Cans® donation drive, which
helps the Foundation support local food banks and pantries in the communities we serve.

Alaska USA Federal Credit Union and the Alaska USA Foundation teamed up for the fundraiser,
collecting cash donations at Alaska USA branches during the month of September, which is
National Hunger Action Month. The event raised more than $108,000, including an additional
donation from the Alaska USA Foundation. With this donation, numerous food banks and
pantries in Alaska, Maricopa County in Arizona, the High Desert region of California, and
Washington State will benefit and be able to further combat local hunger.

“It is so rewarding to know that our members continue to support our efforts to assist and help
individuals and families struggling to put food on their tables,” said Dan McCue, Executive
Director, Alaska USA Foundation. “Through their generous support, we are able to help feed
children, families and seniors who struggle with food insecurities by providing funds to local
food banks and pantries.”
