Did you know that there are 27,000 people that are homeless in Maricopa county and 9,000 of them are children?

As part of the Make A Difference annual Serv-A-Thon on Saturday April 2, 2005, the Arizona Federal Service Squad donated their time and effort to help at the Thomas J. Pappas School for the homeless.

Four project leaders lead the 40 volunteers to SWEAT FEST 2005! They spread 100 tons of gravel, leveled the baseball fields, painted a fence that was several hundred feet long and sorted thousands of cans of food. This project helped over 600 students by providing them with a more appealing learning environment.

Arizona Federal is a locally-owned, locally-controlled, and locally-operated federally-chartered credit union managing $1 billion in member assets and serving over 165,000 member accounts.
