Credit Union Helps Provide Back Packs for Children
June 9, 2014
Grafton, ND - North Star Community Credit Union in Grafton ND is having a Backpack Exchange program this summer.� Throughout the summer, the credit union is inviting the community to drop off their gently used backpacks.� The credit union is then cleaning them, and placing Pee Wee Penguin items and other goodies inside of them.� When it is back to school time, the credit union is going to have a special day for children to come with their parents to pick a "new to them" backpack for their new school year.
Backpacks can be expensive, and most children like a different one each year.� This is a creative and fun way to recycle perfectly good backpacks and provide information to people in the community about credit unions at the same time.
