For the eighth year in a row, the $176.9 million, Burns Harbor, Ind.-based Allegius joined forces with the Porter County Toys for Toys program to help bring the joy of Christmas to area families and children. Funds to purchase toys were raised through member donations, member gifts, credit union staff jeans day donations and Allegius's monetary donation, which resulted in more than $3,700 that it used to obtain over 300 toys. During the past eight years, Allegius has raised over $18,000 to purchase more than 2,600 toys.

The donation will fund Covenant House Alaska services including providing warm clothing, meals and the tools its young people need to feel supported and safe during the current pandemic. Additionally, Alaska USA employees donated multiple roasts to Covenant House Alaska to feed youth staying at the shelter as part of its employee holiday gift-giving campaign.
