Burlington, VT – Vermont Federal Credit Union partnered with NBC5 for the “Class Act” school supplies drive, which collected much needed school supplies in support of Vermont communities, students and teachers.

Vermont Federal collected back-to-school items at all of its seven branches and hosted the first Stuff the Bus event at its newest branch in Essex. Donations included writing supplies (pencils, pens, highlighters, etc.), arts and crafts supplies (scissors, crayons, glue sticks, etc.), and other school gear (lunch boxes, backpacks, calculators, etc.).

“We are thrilled with the results of this school supply drive,” said Jean Giard, CEO. “I am very proud that our employees, members and Vermonters can make a difference for many individuals in our communities by helping kids get off to a great start as they begin a new school year.”

Vermont Federal has a long tradition of supporting communities throughout Vermont and encourages its employees to volunteer in the community. Vermont Federal is an $800 millionplus financial institution, with seven locations currently serving over 45,000 members. Members are part of a cooperative, meaning they share ownership in the Credit Union and elect a volunteer board of directors. Vermont Federal Credit Union provides membership to anyone who lives, works, worships or attends school in Addison, Caledonia, Chittenden, Franklin, Grand Isle, Lamoille, Orange, Orleans, or Washington Counties in Vermont.

Vermont Federal Credit Union is committed to providing supportto the communities it serves and to make a decided difference in the lives of its members and other Vermonters.
