A+ Federal Credit Union Celebrates Fifth Annual A+ Gives Day with Volunteer Service and Community-Driven Giving

Team members volunteering across Texas and the nation while community voting initiative awards $10,000 to local nonprofit organizations.

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A+ Federal Credit Union (A+FCU) is celebrating its fifth annual A+ Gives Day by bringing team members together for a coordinated day of volunteer service benefiting nonprofit organizations in Central Texas, across Texas, and throughout the country. The annual initiative also includes a community-wide voting campaign that awards $10,000 to five local nonprofits.

On Monday, October 12, 2026, A+FCU team members will volunteer with nonprofit organizations in the communities where they live and work, supporting causes focused on community outreach, park cleanup, animal welfare, and food insecurity. While many team members will serve at organizations throughout Central Texas, remote team members across Texas and around the country will also participate in volunteer activities in their local communities.

As part of this year's effort, A+FCU is awarding $10,000 in charitable donations, with five nonprofit organizations each receiving a $2,000 contribution following a public voting campaign that invited community members to help determine the recipients.

"A+ Gives Day reflects the spirit of service that has always been at the heart of A+FCU," said Eric R. Kase, President/CEO of A+ Federal Credit Union. "Our team members give back throughout the year, but A+ Gives Day is special because it brings us together around a shared purpose. Whether volunteering in Central Texas, elsewhere across the state, or in communities around the country, our team dedicates this day to supporting organizations that make a real difference. As we celebrate five years of A+ Gives Day, we're proud of what this initiative has become, the partnerships it has fostered, and the collective impact our team members and nonprofit partners continue to make in communities across Texas and beyond."

Originally created by A+FCU employees in 2019 as part of the credit union's 70th anniversary celebration, A+ Gives began as a series of acts of kindness and community service projects. Since then, it has evolved into a year-round commitment to volunteerism, charitable giving, and community partnerships, anchored by an annual day of service that brings team members together to support causes that matter most to their communities.

The five nonprofits receiving this year's $2,000 donations were selected through an online voting campaign that encouraged community members and supporters to rally behind organizations making a positive impact across Central Texas. Donation recipients will be announced during A+ Gives Day activities.

The annual initiative continues to grow in impact. During the 2025 A+ Gives Day, over 490 A+FCU employees volunteered more than 1,500 hours at 74 organizations, including 42 across Central Texas and 32 in communities across the country. As A+FCU celebrates the fifth annual A+ Gives Day, the initiative stands as a reflection of the credit union's long-standing commitment to serving others through volunteerism, charitable giving, financial education, and community partnerships.
