FLINT, MI Security Credit Union (SCU) has partnered with
Operation Care Package of Michigan to host its fourth annual "Support Our Troops" donation drive, as the nonprofit prepares to send care packages to United States soldiers overseas. Donations will be accepted at SCUs 10 offices in mid-Michigan and two offices in metro Detroit, now through Friday, Oct. 23.

Items collected during SCUs "Support Our Troops" drive will be packaged and shipped to the troops during the holiday season.
"Military service men and women sacrifice so much to protect our freedom. Partnering with Operation Care Package to host this donation drive is a small, but impactful way we can give back to those who give so much," said Christopher Estes, SCU President and CEO. "We invite community members to stop by their local SCU office to drop off items that will bring joy to our soldiers this holiday season."
