MAPLE GROVE, MN (May 13, 2025) |
TopLine Financial Credit Union, a Twin Cities-based member-owned financial services cooperative, held their fourth annual diaper and wipe drive during the month of April benefitting three local non-profits, Avenues for Youth, Hope 4 Youth and YMCA of the North Youth and Family Services. TopLine members and employees generously donated diapers, wipes, and other baby care items to help bring comfort to families in need in our local communities.
Employees were able to participate by donating baby care items and money in exchange for a “Foundation Friday/Saturday” sticker, allowing them to wear jeans to work. TopLine and community members could also purchase items from the credit union’s Amazon Wishlist or Target Registry and have them delivered directly to TopLine, and in return delivered to the charitable partners. When the program ended TopLine employees and members had donated over 1,154 diapers, 63 packs of wipes and $1,160 in cash to assist local individuals and families.
"We are dedicated to collaborating with our community non-profit partners to address their current needs," stated Mick Olson, President and CEO of TopLine. "Our people-first philosophy is exemplified by the generosity of our donors, and we sincerely appreciate their compassion in supporting others through challenging times."
