TopLine Financial Credit Union Members and Employees Help Youth Prepare for a Successful Back to School Season

TopLine’s 20th annual school supply drive benefits local communities

TopLine Financial Credit Union, a Twin Cities-based member-owned financial services cooperative, held their 20thAnnual School Supply Drive that benefited local non-profits, Avenues for Youth, Community Emergency Assistance Programs (CEAP) and Keystone Community Services. TopLine members and employees generously donated a variety of school supplies including notebooks, folders, binders, pencils, crayons, calculators, flash drives, backpacks and more to help youth in our communities get ready for the new school year.

TopLine and community members could purchase items from the credit union’s Amazon Wishlist or Target Registry, and have them delivered directly to TopLine, and in return we delivered to our charitable partners. When the program ended employees and members had donated over 2,230 school supply items, nearly 50 backpacks and over $700 in cash to assist local youth in need.   
  
“Thank you to all our generous donors, we are grateful for the support from our employees and members to help students kick-off the school year,” says Mick Olson, TopLine President and CEO. “Back-to-school season can be stressful for families and we’re glad we can make it a little easier by providing the necessary supplies kids need for a thriving learning experience, and partner with local non-profits to distribute these items.”
