Contribution helps LeeShore emergency center

The LeeShore Center is very grateful to Alaska USA Federal Credit Union for their generous grant contribution of $1,000 from their Community Support Grant Program. This funding will assist us in food costs to help feed the women and children in our emergency shelter facility. Alaska USA is a longtime supporter of The LeeShore Center and our mission provide a safe haven for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. We are grateful Alaska USA plays an important role in that effort by supporting our mission to promote healthy families and a violence-free community!

Cheri Smith,

Executive Director

The LeeShore Center
