Saint Louis, MO (June 27, 2025) |
Together Credit Union has teamed up with The Little Bit Foundation to host a Back To School Donation Drive during the month of July at all 14 branch locations in the Greater St. Louis Metropolitan area.
Founded in 2001, The Little Bit Foundation breaks down barriers to learning for under-resourced students through partnerships and programs that serve the needs of the whole child and provide access to essential services and educational experiences. The organization serves 17,000 students in 54 schools across the St. Louis Metro area, including those students impacted by the recent tornado. Currently, over 90% of the students they serve are living at or below the federal poverty line.
To contribute to the Back To School Donation Drive benefitting The Little Bit Foundation, community members are asked to drop off new school supplies in the collection bins located at any Together Credit Union branch. To find a branch near you, please click here.
