SAN JOSE, Calif. (Aug. 11, 2005) As part of its ongoing commitment to the community, Technology Credit Union (Tech CU) donated $1,000 to the Vanished Children’s Alliance (VCA) for the purchase of Lasso Professional Server, a special software that allows VCA’s missing child database and printable missing child posters to be accessed online by law enforcement agencies and the public.

Along with providing users with the ability to search and filter through specific case information, this software allows VCA’s Casework Department to display the most up-to-date information available on their website. Through the use of this software, VCA expects to disseminate more posters, thereby generating more leads to assist law enforcement in locating these children.

Technology Credit Union welcomed the opportunity to contribute to this worthy cause by helping advance their technology. While Tech CU’s primary mission is to meet the financial needs of its members, providing support to the communities where its members live and work is also an important priority. Technology Credit Union’s involvement in the community includes charitable donations, food and toy drives, as well as fundraising and volunteer activities. The non-profit organizations benefiting from Tech CU’s charitable initiatives also include HOPE Services, CityTeam Ministries, Habitat for Humanity, Second Harvest Food Bank, and the Milpitas Unified School District.
