MAPLE GROVE, MN (March 20, 2025) |
TopLine Financial Credit Union, a Twin Cities-based member-owned financial services cooperative, held their fifth annual Bedding Drive during the month of February benefitting three local non-profits, Karen Organization of Minnesota, More Community Services and YMCA of the North Youth and Family Services. TopLine members and employees generously donated bedding items of pillows, sheet sets, comforters and blankets to help bring comfort to those in need in our local communities.
Employees were able to participate by donating bedding items and money in exchange for a “Foundation Friday/Saturday” sticker, allowing them to wear jeans to work. TopLine and community members could also purchase items from an Amazon Wishlist or Target Registry and have them delivered directly to TopLine, and in return delivered to the charitable partners. When the program ended TopLine employees and members had donated over 133 bedding drive items and $1,140 in cash to assist local individuals and families.
"Thank you to the generosity of our employees and members, who graciously donated items to help bring comfort and warmth to our neighbors in need,” says Mick Olson, TopLine President and CEO. “Every blanket, pillow and bedding donation provides comfort to someone facing uncertainty, and together we have helped to wrap our community in kindness and support."
