GLENDALE, CA (July 13, 2023) — California Credit Union has launched a school supplies drive to help local students start the school year ready to learn in partnership with NBC4 and Telemundo 52’s Supporting Our Schools back-to-school donation drive.
Through July 31st , California Credit Union invites community members to make a difference in a student’s life by dropping off new school supplies at any branch location in Los Angeles and Orange Counties. A complete list of California Credit Union locations is available here. All supplies will be distributed to students at a special community event at the Weingart East Los Angeles YMCA on August 5th.
“We’re asking our community to join with us in helping every student start the school year ready to learn and thrive. Many families in our community are challenged to provide essential school supplies, and together we can make a difference in a child’s life and academic success,” said California Credit Union CEO Steve O’Connell. “All supplies brought to our branches will be given to local students so they can begin the school year with the tools they need to succeed.”
School supplies needed include:

NBC4 / KNBC and Telemundo 52 / KVEA’s Supporting Our Schools or Apoyando a Nuestras Escuelas back-to-school donation drive helps students and teachers get the supplies they need to succeed in the new academic school year. Between July 10 and July 31, viewers and the general public are invited to join the stations by making a donation to fund a local classroom project via the education nonprofit DonorsChoose. All funds raised via DonorsChoose will go directly towards the resources that students and classrooms need in Southern California.
