ANDOVER, MN (September 7, 2023) — The third annual School Supply Drive, co-sponsored by Minnco Credit Union and the Minnco Foundation, was an overwhelming success, with thousands of school items donated and distributed to 26 area schools. In addition, Minnco employees went shopping for additional school supplies using $5,000 raised from employee donations, member donations and a match from the Minnco Foundation.
To help raise awareness of the school supply drive, each Minnco office decorated their lobbies in unique ways. The Downtown Cambridge office was recognized as the most creative for hanging 100 backpacks around the office with a goal of filling each one before taking them down and distributing them.
Thank you to everyone who dropped off supplies or made a monetary contribution. With inflation making everything more expensive, your donations made going “back to school” a more positive experience for hundreds of our students.

Minnco has over $500 million in assets and seven full-service offices (Andover, Big Lake, Cambridge, Isanti, Minnco Center, North Branch and Princeton) serving over 31,000 members. www.minnco.com
