On Monday, October 12, 2026, A+FCU hosted its fifth annual A+ Gives Day in which over 490 team members volunteered more than 1,490 hours with 41 Central Texas organizations and 34 organizations across the nation.

A+ Gives Day is an expansion of the credit union’s ongoing A+ Gives program, designed to show appreciation and support for the communities A+FCU serves. A+ Gives Day specifically supports organizations dedicated to making an impact in four key areas: animal needs, community outreach, food insecurity, and park cleanup.

Key highlights from this year’s A+ Gives Day:

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 non-profit partners continue to make in communities across Texas and beyond.

– Eric R. Kase, A+FCU President/CEO

“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 non-profit partners continue to make in communities across Texas and beyond.”

A+FCU not only gave the gift of time but also donated $10,000 as part of the A+ Gives Day initiative after organizing a community voting process that generated over 3,250 votes from community members and partner organization supporters. On A+ Gives Day, five organizations were randomly selected, and each awarded a $2,000 check – congratulations to Ancora Ministries Feed Kids Right Now, Austin Diaper Bank, Central Texas Table of Grace, School Fuel San Marcos, and Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter.

“A+ Gives Day and the A+ team helped us both financially with the donation as well as helped us prepare our inventory for our families,” said Kim Parker, Executive Director of Austin Diaper Bank. “Since we operate with a small staff, the donation of time is so meaningful and helps ensure we’re able to continue to have diapers available for families. And the funds provided will help us continue to provide diapers, wipes, and feminine products to local families by supporting distribution operations. We love our A+ volunteers and we’re grateful for the opportunity to be part of A+ Gives Day.”

A+ Gives Day positively impacts community partner organizations and Team A+. Check out what our team had to say about volunteering in the community:
