With the support of its members, staff and the community, Mid Oregon Credit Union collected several generous bins of school supplies for local students during its annual Supplies 4 Schools fundraiser benefiting Family Access Network.
During August, Mid Oregon collected school supplies and cash donations at each of their eight branches across Central Oregon. Every donation to Supplies 4 Schools directly benefits students in the communities where they are collected. Mid Oregon collaborates closely with local FAN advocates and school districts to ensure that supplies reach students in Deschutes, Crook, and Jefferson Counties who may lack necessary items, especially as classroom needs continue to evolve.
“FAN is an amazing organization that helps kids stay in school by removing barriers and helping meet their family’s basic needs,” said Kyle Frick, SVP of marketing and community relations at Mid Oregon. “We are proud to partner with our community to collect school supplies, supporting FAN’s vital work in Central Oregon school districts for over 20 years.”
“Every child should be able to walk into school feeling confident that they have all the supplies they need to succeed. Supplies 4 Schools helps to make sure that students across Central Oregon can show up to school with those supplies, feeling ready to learn.” shared Shelby Cala, FAN community outreach coordinator. “FAN is grateful for the support of Mid Oregon Credit Union and proud to partner with an organization that understands the importance of supporting our Central Oregon children and families.”
