LONG BEACH, Calif.– LBS Financial Credit Union partnered with three local school districts this summer to collect school supplies for the 2017-2018 school year.
The credit union worked with ABC Unified School District, Bellflower Unified School District, and Long Beach Unified School District for its seventh annual Adopt-a-School Program to select a school and identify specific needs for each school.
The program was promoted during the summer months at five of their branch locations and via marketing efforts to encourage their members and employees to make donations. All of the items donated were delivered to the selected schools in the first couple weeks of the school year.
In addition to the donations from members and the public, the CU promoted the program internally to its employees and collected over $1,000. LBS Financial matched these donations in addition to other funds provided by the Credit Union. At the end of the summer, the Credit Union had over six thousand dollars to spend supplementing supplies for the three schools
