Clackamas FCU

Employees from the $414 million Clackamas Federal Credit Union in Milwaukie, Ore., present a $5,000 check to Mt. Hood Search and Rescue Council. This is the seventh annual donation from Clackamas FCU to Mt. Hood Search and Rescue Council, totaling more than $65,000. This year's donation will be used to purchase 15 much-needed GPS units and new tires for a communications vehicle. Mt. Hood Search and Rescue Council is composed of nine Oregon County Sheriff offices, volunteer rescue teams and other collaborators that work together to cover a large region of the Oregon State Sheriffs' Association. Together they coordinate and improve search and rescue missions throughout the region. In addition to risking their lives, the volunteers give thousands of hours of time (often using personal vacation time), purchase their own equipment, and pay for their own gas and vehicles that are used for rescue missions. Mt. Hood Search and Rescue Council does not receive government funding, so it relies on the generosity of its volunteers and private donations.
