TICONDEROGA, NY (JULY 11, 2014) — For the fifth consecutive year the Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union (TFCU) will host its School Supply Drive for area students. From July 28 through Aug. 22, TFCU members and the public can donate new school supplies and other classroom materials by placing their donations in the in-branch collection bins.
Students’ and teachers’ wish lists include basic school supplies, such as paper, crayons, scissors, pencils, pens, glue, markers, folders, and erasers, as well as other items used in classrooms every day, such as tissues and hand sanitizers. Donations of cash or gift cards to office supply stores or retail vendors are also welcomed and will be used by the Credit Union to purchase supplies from school-issued lists.
