Donations of new school supply items to benefit a variety of groups throughout the regions served by The Summit.
The Summit has kicked off its 2024 School Supply Drive. Donation boxes are located in all 14 branches of The Summit.
Beneficiaries include Big Brothers Big Sisters of Erie, Niagara, and the Southern Tier; PEACE Inc. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Syracuse; Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Rochester; the Annual Back 2 School Event at the Chapel in Cortland; and the Seneca Falls Central School District.
“This is the third year that we’ve organized a company-wide school supply drive and we have been overwhelmed by the generosity of our members,” commented Twanda Christensen, Vice President of Marketing and Community Engagement. “We know that the rising cost of school supplies creates financial challenges for some families. This event is another way for us to join with the communities that we serve to support teachers and students to get them off to a great start for the school year. All items collected will stay in the regions in which they are donated.”
The Summit School Supply Drive will conclude on August 13th to give the credit union time to distribute items to the beneficiaries before the start of the school year. For a full list of supplies needed, visit your nearest branch of the Summit.
