SAN
DIEGO, July 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- North
Island Credit Union has partnered with the Boys & Girls Clubs
of Greater San Diego to make the
new school year a little bit easier for hundreds of Club kids and
their families. In the fourth year of the partnership, the credit
union recently provided approximately 300 backpacks filled with
school supplies to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego as part of its annual Back 2
School Drive.
Backpacks were donated by North Island Credit Union, its
employees, and members in a July branch drive, with school supplies
provided by the credit union. The backpacks will be distributed to
elementary through high school-aged students participating in Club
programs across San Diego County
prior to the start of the fall school year.
"Assisting our students and teachers in the important work of
learning is a fundamental part of our community commitment. Every
student deserves a great start to the school year, and that
includes having the tools they need to succeed. We thank our
members and employees for so generously joining us in helping
ensure the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego kids return to the classroom
in August ready to learn," said North Island Credit Union
President/CEO Steve O'Connell.
"There's nothing like the feeling of starting the year off with
a brand-new backpack and a full set of school supplies. These
donations make our members feel great about the start of the school
year. They walk into school prepared and excited for the year
ahead. We are grateful to North Island Credit Union for their
ongoing support of our Back 2 School Drive," stated Michelle Malin, COO of Boys & Girls Clubs of
