The Wescom Foundation has raised more than $214,000 in member, community, and Credit Union donations to help support those impacted by the Southern California wildfires. The funds raised will directly support the American Red Cross and Direct Relief.*
Additionally, the Wescom Foundation provided a $5,000 grant to the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation. This is not the first instance in which Wescom has encouraged members and community members at-large to support natural disaster relief efforts. In 2023, the Credit Union and its members supported those impacted by the Maui wildfires, donating more than $230,000. Last year, the Foundation raised $66,000 in member and Credit Union donations to help multiple communities in Southern California impacted by wildfires.
Wescom has been dedicated to building better lives for members, team members, and communities in California for more than 90 years. Driven by the philosophy of “people helping people,” the charitable arm of the Credit Union, the Wescom Foundation, is dedicated to making the communities it serves a better place for all through strategic grantmaking and community engagement. Since 1999, the Foundation has raised an estimate of more than $6 million for community nonprofits. To learn more about the Wescom Foundation, please visit wescom.org/About-Us/Foundation.
