You’ve made a big difference in your community

Thanks to your generous donations during the Global Credit Union Foundation’s 2025 Cash for Cans® fundraising drive, we raised $80,000 to help fight hunger in our communities.

Cash donations collected at neighborhood Global branches will be distributed to food banks and pantries in Alaska, Maricopa County in Arizona, the High Desert region of California, Idaho's Kootenai County, and Washington State. Thank you for stepping up to help stamp out hunger!

Around the community

We love staying active and engaged in our communities. Here are a few events we’ve participated in this year.

2025 Alaska State Fair

What a year for the Alaska State Fair! Global spokesperson Mari had a great time meeting Global members, snacking on fair food, and getting into some fun fair festivities. Mari wasn’t the only one having fun—we invited our good friend Danika and her family to enjoy a day at the fair, too. Check out Danika’s story on Instagram @girl.in.alaska

Pig Out in the Park

We can’t get enough of fairs—or fair food! Global was a presenting sponsor for this year’s food festival in Spokane, WA. Live music, great food, and whole lot of fun was had by all.

Third pending thing

Maybe a golf tournament, maybe Kenai fishing classic. Either way, it’ll go here so leave a little space for this text and some pics.
