TEMPE, Ariz.–Landings Credit Union donated 240 cases of bottled water to those in need in both the Tempe and Chandler communities.
One-hundred twenty cases were donated to Tempe Community Action Agency (TCAA), whose mission is to improve the quality of life for those experiencing hardship in the Tempe area. The other 120 cases of bottled water were donated to local Chandler area non-profit AZCEND. Formerly known as Chandler Christian Community Center (CCCC), AZCEND has been helping Chandler residents in need for the past 50 years.
Landings CU holds an annual bottled water drive to help combat heat related issues in vulnerable communities during the hot summer months. This year in lieu of asking their members for donations Landings CU said it had pallets of water delivered to both TCAA and AZCEND to ensure the safety of their members as well as those receiving the donations.
Separately, Landings Credit Union has partnered with the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (FHLB) to award three Landings CU business members with a $6,000 grant to help with the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Landings CU will donate $3,000 with FHLB matching the funds totaling $6,000 to help business members during these difficult times.
“We are proud to partner with the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco to offer grants supporting local Black and minority-owned businesses,” said Brian Lee, president and CEO of Landings Credit Union. “We appreciate everything these businesses continue to do to serve our community during this pandemic and feel honored to support them."
