Support Alameda County Youth

1st United Credit Union is upholding its annual tradition of collecting for their annual school supply and backpack drive in support of Alternative Family Services and the Alameda County Family Justice Center. Due to COVID-19, they are doing things a little differently this year.

In lieu of collecting backpacks in their branches, they are requesting monetary donations that will be combined with the Credit Union’s contribution and used to purchase pre-packaged, COVID-friendly school supply kits for distribution to their community partners. It’s still up in the air whether school will be in person or online this year. But one thing’s for sure – students will still need school supplies!

The community can participate and help support a family this year. Monetary donations are accepted through July 31, 2020 as follows:

• 1st United Members – Donate online, call 1st United at (800) 649-0193, or stop by any branch to make a donation directly from your 1st United account.
• Community Members – Drop off a check to any branch, payable to 1st United Credit Union.

Times are tough for many right now. If you can spare a little to help another family, please donate by July 31, 2020.

Together we can make a difference!
