For the fifth year in a row, Community America Credit Union (CACU) will deliver school supplies to City Union Mission. Two thousand low-income children will receive supplies throughout the year. CACU holds contests among their employees every year to see who can collect the most items. Their prize is a chance to volunteer at City Union Mission’s Family Center as school supplies are distributed to families.

| Why: |
“No one can do any job right without the right tools,” said Dennis Pierce, the chief executive officer of Community America Credit Union. “Kids need tools, too, beginning with a sharp-looking bag full of new school supplies. Together, we can ensure all students in our community start the school year on an even playing field,” said Pierce. |
