Phoenix, Ariz. (September 6, 2005) – Helen and Edward Price are both handicapped and barely make ends meet on the $870 a month they receive from Social Security. But that didn’t stop them from coming to the aid of others who are in greater need of help after learning about the devastating destruction that Hurricane Katrina left in her path.

As members of Arizona Federal, they went down to their local branch and donated $200 to help aid the victims of the hurricane. Once there, they were thrilled to learn that they would not only be contributing what they could, but that Arizona Federal would match their donation.

Arizona Federal is matching all funds up to $50,000 donated by their employees and members to the Red Cross Relief Fund, as well as donating $10,000 to the National Credit Union Disaster Relief Fund which will help credit union employees, volunteers and members in the devastated areas. Arizona Federal will be donating computer equipment and employees to credit unions in these areas as they begin the re-opening process. They are also reaching out to their employees who have families in the areas affected by the disaster and are offering whatever relief they can provide.

For more information on how to get your donations matched by Arizona Federal, please call (602) 683-1000 or visit their website at www.azfcu.org.
