Backpacks filled with school supplies help prepare students for the new school year

SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union, the largest credit union serving school employees and their families, today announced its Membership Development and Advocacy teams delivered 2,500 backpacks filled with school supplies – including pencils, erasers, notebooks and other necessities – to 11 county offices of education, or a designated school district, throughout California.

This year, SchoolsFirst FCU delivered backpacks to the following counties: Los Angeles, Orange, Placer, Riverside, Sacramento, San Bernardino, San Diego, Sutter, Ventura, Yolo, and Yuba. The individual county offices of education will distribute the backpacks to students in need to help them prepare to excel in the new school year.

“The start of a new school year is filled with excitement and anticipation for students, and we want to make sure they have everything they need to start the school year right,” said Bill Cheney, chief executive officer of SchoolsFirst FCU. “We are proud to provide students in the communities we serve with the essential items they need for the school year.”
