Credit Union Employees Donate Items for Families in Needs

MAPLE GROVE, MINN. August 6, 2013 For six weeks employees of TopLine Federal Credit Union exchanged donations of clothing and personal care items to the Community Emergency Assistance Program (CEAP) Clothing Closet and Keystone Community Services for the opportunity to wear jeans to work on Fridays and Saturdays. When the program ended on May 25, 2013 TopLines just over 90 employees had donated nearly 600 clothing items, over 50 personal care items and $266 in cash to assist local families in need. TopLine employees were able to participate by donating new or gently used clothing to the CEAP clothing drive and Keystone personal care drive in exchange for a "Denim Days" sticker, allowing them to wear jeans to work on specific days during the program. Several TopLine employees also volunteered their time to sort and hang the donations at CEAP in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota.
