Credit Union Collects School Supplies for Local Students
August 29, 2013
Every year, the Salvation Army helps thousands of children in the Rapid City area and throughout the nation by providing them with necessary school supplies. Many children in the Rapid City area would not have the basic tools and school supplies with which to start school if it werent for the "Tools for Schools" campaign.
Highmark FCU partnered with the Salvation Army by providing drop-off boxes for donations in Rapid City and Custer.� Items that were donated and collected included pencils, pens, rulers, spiral notebooks, erasers, glue, crayons, theme paper, 2-pocket folders, and backpacks.
John Carlson, President of Highmark Federal Credit Union, agrees and is pleased with Highmarks contribution to this worthwhile program. "We live in a community where generosity abounds and people are accustomed to helping families in need. �Highmark is delighted to be part of this outreach - to help children start school with basic and necessary supplies."
