First it was Haiti and now it will be Japan disaster victims becoming recipients of financial generosity from members of the $726 million Altura Credit Union of Riverside, Calif. Altura is joining local civic leaders in honoring Riverside's sister city, Sendai, Japan, by contributing support to the Japan Relief Fund effort.
"I guess Altura members understand financial suffering which is why we have been among the first to join the local effort," said a spokeswoman for Altura, which is located in an area of southern California now recovering from the deep recession.
