(Somerville, MA) Naveo Credit Union collected over 130 books during the month of April as part of their Childrens Book Drive.� Each year, Naveo Credit Union participates in the annual statewide book drive spearheaded by the Massachusetts division of the Cooperative Credit Union Association. The Association collaborates with the Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless to distribute the collected books to local non-profits, low-income daycares, schools and shelters in Somerville and surrounding communities.
Naveo spread the word about their collection via social media, email blasts and through the use of their community partners. Naveo has exceeded their goal for several consecutive years and increased their level of participation based on the previous years collection. This years book drive resulted in the League collecting over 13,000 books from 38 credit unions.
"We are proud to participate in events like the Childrens Book Drive, that have a direct impact in our community. Unfortunately, there are several children who do not have books at home. Ensuring that they have access to books at school, their daycare or a local after school program is extremely important. Thank you to our members, community partners and staff who helped us collect books for such a great cause," commented Rui F. Domingos, Chief Executive Officer at Naveo Credit Union.
