APPLETON, Wis.–Fox Communities Credit Union, which has been a driving force in the Help for the Homeless Drive for many years, is doing something a little different in 2018.
The credit union placed “lunch bags” at its 22 branches that members and anyone from the community could stop in and pick up a bag to fill with items. There was a label on each bag that had a list of what the hygiene drive was in need of.
“Once the bags were filled with items, the generous folks in the community dropped them off at one of the Fox branches,” the credit union said. “For each filled bag brought in, you were entered into a drawing for VISA gift cards. With the help of the bags, we collected the most we’ve ever done by leaps and bounds! Over 17 total filled boxes at a value of $350-$400/box, which was a total of $6000 worth of items was donated to the Help the Homeless from the Fox Communities Credit Union friends alone."
