Toys for Tots

During November and December, LAFCU raised $15,500 for our 2024 U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots toy drive. Donations were gathered in our branches, from staff, from PayPal online, and from the donation/transfer function in mobile/online banking. Our initial goal of $5,000 was eclipsed quickly and we ultimately raised $10,500. Along with a $5,000 match from our 501(c)3 charity, the Los Angeles Charitable Association (LACA), the $15,500 donation will pay for over 1,500 toys that will be purchased then given to deserving children during the holidays.

In our branches, 250 toys were donated by members and credit union staff. Since its founding in 1947, the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots foundation has distributed 677 million toys to 301 million deserving children. The foundation is also a 501(c)3 not-for profit public charity and since 2001 has ranked as one of the top-rated charities by “Philanthropy 400.” LAFCU has been a 30-year partner with Toys for Tots and is proud to be a part of its mission.
