California Credit Union has launched a school supply drive in association with NBC4 and Telemundo 52’s Supporting Our Schools back-to-school donation drive, inviting the community to help local students begin the new academic year prepared, confident and ready to learn.
Now in its fourth year, the partnership collects new school supplies for local students, with donations accepted at California Credit Union branches in Los Angeles and Orange counties through July 31.
Community members can participate by dropping off new school supplies at any California Credit Union branch in Los Angeles and Orange counties. Donations will be distributed to students during a special community event at the Southeast Rio Vista YMCA on August 5.
“Something as simple as a backpack, notebook or box of pencils can help a student feel more prepared and confident on the first day of school,” said California Credit Union CEO Steve O’Connell. “We’re proud to support NBC4 and Telemundo 52’s Supporting Our Schools campaign and help bring the community together to make the new school year brighter for local students.”
