LAFCU Helps Build Homes for Habitat for Humanity Glendale, CA (May 23, 2024) – To help provide housing for deserving families, 16 Los Angeles Federal Credit Union (LAFCU) employees and their family members, along with a supervising crew & other volunteers, helped build parts of townhomes in the city of Azusa, CA on Saturday, May 18. Volunteers worked in groups to construct walls for the four 3- bedroom 2-bath homes in the 4-plex. During a break, Richard Lie, LAFCU President/CEO & Anthony Cuevas, LAFCU EVP/COO, presented a $10,200 check to Bryan Wong, CEO of the San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity. This amount included $5,000 from the credit union and $5,200 donated by credit union members during a fundraising campaign in April. The funds will go toward helping deserving families build then live in a place they can call home. Habitat for Humanity is a global nonprofit housing organization founded in 1976 by Millard and Linda Fuller. It works in local communities across the USA and in 70 countries. Habitat’s vision is of a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Families in need of decent, affordable housing apply for homeownership and are selected based on level of need, willingness to partner with Habitat, and their ability to repay a mortgage through an affordable payment plan. Habitat’s homebuyers invest hundreds of hours of their own labor, called “sweat equity,” working alongside volunteers and other Habitat homeowners. Anyone who lives in the Greater Los Angeles Metropolitan area can join LAFCU and take advantage of its financial services. For details, visit www.LAFCU.org, call (877) MY LAFCU (695-2328), or visit one of their branches. #habitatforhumanity #together #help #community #creditunion
