(August 30, 2022, Hagåtña, Guam)
As part of its 60th Anniversary celebration, Community First Guam Federal Credit Union has committed to completing 60 Acts of Community as a way to give back to the people of Guam. For Act 2 of these 60 Acts, Community First will be holding a supply drive for Harvest House, a local nonprofit that aims to help the children and teens of the island by providing them with a safe space to live and grow and the Guam Homeless Coalition, a group that addresses the needs of Guam’s homeless population.
Gerard Cruz, President and CEO of Community First, said, “The work that Harvest House and the Guam Homeless Coalition do to serve our residents who are in great need is truly inspiring, and we wanted to do our part to support their mission. We invite our members and our community at large to join us in helping our neighbors in need.”

Donations can be dropped off at any Community First Member Service Center during business hours – Monday through Thursday from 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m., Fridays from 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., and Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. (Dededo and Tamuning only).
