Elizabethton, TN - Northeast Community Credit Union is helping sponsor the TLC Community Centers Christmas Bundles of Love program.
NCCU donated $500 to the TLC Community Center to use for the program and will be providing volunteers and tote bags for the distribution of the gifts. NCCU will also serve as a drop-off location for the program at all four NCCU branches in Elizabethton, Roan Mountain and Johnson City.
"Our primary mission is to help improve the lives of our neighbors, financially or otherwise," NCCU President and CEO Kathy Campbell said. "There is a need and we are pleased to be given the opportunity to work with TLC Community Center to help meet that need."
The Bundles of Love program collects items for children in need in the local community; such as hygiene items, school supplies, personal items and small toys. The bundles are distributed based on referrals from local schools and to clients who participate in the TLC Summer Food program.
"There is so much need in the community," TLC Director Angie Odom said. "This is about meeting the needs in our hometown."
NCCU will be accepting items for the Bundles of Love, which include shampoo, toothpaste, individually packaged toothbrushes, dental floss, deodorant, soaps, combs, body wash, washcloths, pencils, erasers, notebooks, crayons, socks, gloves, hats, mittens, small toys and other similar items.
The Bundles of Love will be distributed in late November and early December to boys and girls aged from toddler to teenager.
