MAPLE GROVE, MN (March 11, 2026) |
TopLine Financial Credit Union, a Twin Cities-based member-owned financial services cooperative, held their sixth annual Bedding Drive during the month of February benefitting four local non-profits, Avenues for Youth, 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 and TopLine members and other community members could also purchase items from the credit union’s Amazon Wishlist or Target Registry and have them delivered directly to TopLine, and in return delivered to charitable partners. When the program ended TopLine employees and members had donated over 180 bedding drive items and $1,195 in cash to assist local families in need.
“We are incredibly grateful for the generosity of our employees and members who donated items to bring comfort and warmth to neighbors in need,” says Mick Olson, TopLine Financial Credit Union President and CEO. “Every blanket, pillow, and bedding donation offers reassurance to someone facing uncertainty, helping us wrap our community in kindness and support.”
