(Good Things Utah) – America First created the Community Assistance Program (CAP) in 1989. Its purpose is to give financial support to organizations that provide job assistance, training, housing, food, and medical services to those in need.

Money raised through member donations is given to these organizations. When donations are made to the Community Assistance Program, members can be assured that every penny is dedicated to the disadvantaged in our communities. Nothing is held back or used for administrative or other purposes

Community Assistance Program

America First Credit Union is putting the credit union philosophy of people helping people to action. As part of an annual Community Assistance Program, AFCU recognized 12 nonprofits in Utah, Southern Nevada, and Arizona.

In total, AFCU has donated $120,000 to nonprofits that help members of the community. The purpose of the program is to give financial support to organizations that provide job assistance, training, housing, food, and medical services to those in need.

In Utah, they were able to support nonprofits such as the Cathedral of Madeleine Good Samaritan Program, Your Community Connection (YCC) Family Crisis Center, Christmas Box House, Lantern House, For the Kids, and more. AFCU congratulates and thanks each of these organizations for the amazing job they do and look forward to our continued partnership and support.
