Local credit union raises $6,500 for Astoria Net Shed
The Daily Astorian
Staff at Wauna Federal Credit Union choose one charity
or nonprofit organization within their footprint to raise funds
toward each quarter, and for the first quarter of 2018, employ-
ees chose Astoria High School’s Net Shed.
In just seven years, the Net Shed has given away more than
32,000 items of clothing, shoes, undergarments, hygiene prod-
ucts, costume jewelry and accessories to AHS students and
their families.
“I started the Net Shed from my personal need to help
the students and families of AHS,” Net Shed founder Linda
Ho-Martin said.
“I wanted to help in a way that didn’t seem like charity and
that could be accessed by all, with no negative stigma.”
Through WCU staff and member donations, the credit
union managed to raise $6,500 for the Net Shed, which will go
toward stocking the store, scholarships for students and opera-
tions assistance.
Wauna Federal Credit Union donated $6,500 to the
Astoria High School Net Shed.
