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 in great need of our support.

Recently, CU1 branches in Anchorage, Eagle River, Wasilla and Fairbanks [collected essential supplies for disaster relief efforts](https://www.youralaskalink.com/news/local/credit-union-1-aids-western-alaska-storm-victims-with-donations-and-support/article_f19304af-3e04-44d1-a362-4316d1c25be2.html). 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. 

#### **Donation Opportunity**

In November, Credit Union 1 was proud to partner with the American Red Cross of Alaska to support a dollar-for-dollar match campaign. We matched every dollar donated through [this special giving page](https://www.redcross.org/donate/cm/cu1-pub.html/) and were able to provide a total donation of $10,000.

- It's not too late to show your support. [Donate online now](https://www.redcross.org/donate/cm/cu1-pub.html/) to the American Red Cross of Alaska.

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 donated funds go directly to Alaskan disaster relief efforts.

“Recent storms have a lasting impact on rural communities,” shares Mark Burgess, President/CEO. “Alaskans have always looked out for one another, and by contributing even a small item or amount, you’re helping families rebuild and recover.”
