Typhoon Halong Donation Drive
When Typhoon Halong struck Western Alaska, thousands of village residents had to evacuate their homes in the wake of widespread damage across coastal communities. These evacuees are now in great need of our support.
Recently, CU1 branches in Anchorage, Eagle River, Wasilla and Fairbanks collected essential supplies for disaster relief efforts. In collaboration with the Red Cross of Alaska, Lynden, Team Rubicon and GCI, these supply donations were delivered to organizations that are coordinating on-the-ground relief for evacuees.
Monetary donations, which help local agencies provide long-term assistance to families rebuilding their lives, are still needed and welcomed.
Matching Gift Opportunity
We’re proud to partner with the American Red Cross of Alaska to support a dollar-for-dollar match campaign. Credit Union 1 will match every dollar donated through this special giving page, up to a total of $10,000.
That means your contribution now will have twice the impact for families rebuilding after Typhoon Halong!
- Donate online now to the American Red Cross of Alaska and your gift will be matched.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity and Alaskan spirit of community-care. The American Red Cross of Alaska is a trusted relief partner, and all matched funds will go directly to disaster relief efforts in Western Alaska.
