GLENDALE, Calif.–– Los Angeles Federal Credit Union (LAFCU) raised $12,250 in donations for its 2023 Toys for Tots toy drive. Donations were gathered in its branches from staff, from PayPal online, and from the donation/transfer function in mobile/online banking.
LAFCU said its $5,000 goal was eclipsed quickly and it ultimately raised $7,250. LAFCU also matched up to $5,000 through its 501(c)3 charity, the Los Angeles Charitable Association (LACA), bringing the total donated to $12,250 which paid for about 1,225 toys that were purchased then given to deserving children during the holidays.
In addition, for the first time in four years, 253 toys were donated in their branches by members and LAFCU staff.
Since its founding in 1947, the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots foundation has distributed 652 million toys to 291 million deserving children.
