ProFed Credit Union is thrilled to announce the launch of its School Supply Drive, which aims to support local schools, teachers, and students as they prepare for the upcoming academic year.

According to a 2023 US Department of Education survey, 94% of teachers reach into their pockets to fund things needed in their classrooms, including school supplies.

ProFed is collecting school supplies to benefit local elementary classrooms. Every donation, from crayons and pencils to notebooks and tissues, makes a significant impact.

Community members can donate school supplies at any ProFed branch until July 15. For added convenience and to empower you to make a difference from the comfort of your home, you can also visit profedcu.org to order supplies online from a designated wish list, which will be directly delivered to ProFed’s Main Branch.

“We are excited to rally our community in support of hardworking teachers,” said Hope Zellers, Community Engagement Coordinator at ProFed Credit Union. “By coming together, we ensure that more students have the tools they need to succeed in a classroom.”

For those unsure of what supplies to donate, a list of requested items is available at profedcu.org. For information or questions regarding the drive, please visit profedcu.org or contact marketing@profedcu.org.
