Topline Financial Credit Union members and employees donate bedding items
TopLine’s bedding drive benefits non-profits to support local communities
MAPLE GROVE, MN (March 15, 2023) — TopLine Financial Credit Union’s third annual Bedding Drive held during the month of February benefited three local non-profits, Avenues for Youth, 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 our Amazon Wishlist or Target Registry and have them delivered directly to TopLine, and in return we delivered to our charitable partners. When the program ended employees and members had donated 78 bedding items and nearly $790 in cash to assist local youth and families.
“TopLine remains committed to meeting the growing critical needs of youth, individuals and families in our communities,” says Tom Smith, TopLine President and CEO. “We are grateful to all of our generous members and employees that contribute to our drives to support our neighbors growing basic needs. We couldn’t do this without each other. Every item or dollar makes an impact.”
