Baby Supplies Donated by Topline Financial Credit Union Members and Employees
May 14 2024 - 9:41AM
TopLine Financial Credit Union, a Twin Cities-based member-owned
financial services cooperative, held their third annual diaper and
wipe drive during the month of April benefitting three local
non-profits, Avenues for Youth, Karen Organization of Minnesota and
YMCA of the North Youth and Family Services. TopLine members and
employees generously donated diapers, wipes, and other baby care
items to help bring comfort to families in need in our local
communities.
Employees were able to participate by donating baby care items
and money in exchange for a “Foundation Friday/Saturday” sticker,
allowing them to wear jeans to work. TopLine and community members
could also purchase items from the credit union’s Amazon Wishlist
or Target Registry and have them delivered directly to TopLine, and
in return delivered to our charitable partners. When the program
ended employees and members had donated 27 packs of diapers, 55
wipe packs and $835 in cash to assist local families.
“We are committed to connecting with our community non-profit
partners to help fulfill needs they are experiencing,” says Mick
Olson, TopLine President and CEO. “Our people-first philosophy is
supported and demonstrated by all our generous donors, and we are
grateful for their compassion in helping others through challenging
times.”
