Battle Creek, MI (September 9, 2025) |
KCCU will kick off its annual coat drive on September 15 to help the members of the communities they serve stay warm this winter. The coat drive will run until October 31, and items can be dropped off in the lobby at any KCCU branch location. Financial hardship can make it difficult for some families and individuals to ensure they are dressed properly this fall and winter, making this annual coat drive especially timely. KCCU knows their team, members, and the community will come together and show support for this worthy cause, as they have done for many years past.
KCCU is committed to helping provide cold-weather gear for those who may need assistance, so they are collecting new and gently used coats, snow pants, hats, mittens, and scarves that are clean and in good condition, in all sizes from adults to infants and everything in between. The items collected will be distributed to local families in need by community partners.
"KCCU is deeply committed to supporting the communities we serve in every way possible," said KCCU’s CEO, Tracy Miller. "With the colder months just around the corner, we want to make sure everyone in our community has access to warm clothing. Our annual Coat Drive is one of the many
ways we strive to give back and embody our 'people helping people' philosophy. Together with our incredible community partners, we’re honored to make a positive difference for families and individuals who may need a little extra help as the cold weather approaches. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who donates and helps us make a lasting impact!"
KCCU’s vision statement includes “providing opportunity and lifelong value to our members and our community.” KCCU takes this statement seriously, and for the past twenty-one years, they have
hosted a Coat Drive in partnership with community-based organizations as part of their commitment to their vision.
