Credit Union Branches Accepting Donations
of New Backpacks for Elementary and Middle School
Students
SAN
DIEGO, July 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- North Island
Credit Union has launched a school backpack drive to benefit local
elementary and middle school students in partnership with the Boys
& Girls Clubs of Greater San
Diego. In the fourth year of the partnership, the
organizations are working to help local students start the school
year ready to learn.
Through July 20, North Island
Credit Union invites community members to make a difference in a
student's life by dropping off a school backpack to any branch
location in San Diego County. A
complete list of North Island Credit Union locations is available
here.
"We're asking our community to join with us in helping every
student start the school year ready to learn and thrive. Many
families in our community are challenged to provide new
back-to-school backpacks, and together we can make a difference in
a child's life and academic success," said North Island Credit
Union President/CEO Steve O'Connell.
"Every backpack brought to one of our branches will be filled with
school supplies and given to local students so they can begin the
school year with the tools they need to succeed."
Donated backpacks should be new and appropriate for
elementary/middle school students. The credit union will fill all
donated backpacks with essential school supplies. The Boys &
Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego
will distribute the stuffed backpacks to Club kids in need in time
for the fall school year.
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater
San Diego changes lives through quality youth programs and
guidance in a safe, affordable and fun environment. The Clubs serve
kids ages 5-18 at 23 community-based sites countywide, making a
difference in the lives of San
Diego's future leaders – today's youth. Through its Back 2
School Drive, its members receive all the basic necessities to
start the school year off right.
