Kellogg Community CU Coat Drive Brings In Over 370 Coats!
November 6, 2019
Battle Creek, MI - Kellogg Community Credit Union (KCCU) held its annual coat drive throughout the month of October to help the members of the communities in which they serve stay warm.
KCCU partnered with Charitable Union (Battle Creek), St. Joseph County United Way, Salvation Army (Share the Warmth – Kalamazoo County), MACS (Marshall Area Community Services), and Bethany Christian Services (Grand Rapids) to help members of these communities stay warm this winter. Both new and gently used coats, hats, mittens, and scarves, in sizes ranging from infants to adults, and everything in-between, were collected. Our KCCU Team and Members truly live the credit union philosophy of people helping people. We collected over 371 coats this year, 100+ more than last year, to help people in our community stay warm this winter!
“At KCCU, we are committed to helping and enriching the lives of others. By hosting our winter clothing drive, we can provide much needed support to members of the communities we serve,” stated Tracy Miller, KCCU’s CEO. “We are pleased to partner with these wonderful charities, and we hope to continue these partnerships for many years to come. I would like to thank our members, team, and community for their generous support again this year.”
KCCU’s vision statement includes “providing opportunity and lifelong value to our members and our community.” KCCU takes this statement seriously and has demonstrated their commitment by partnering with local organizations like Charitable Union, St. Joseph County United Way, Salvation Army, MACS, and Bethany Christian Services for over fifteen years to host the coat drives.
