LANSING, Mich.—LAFCU is collecting school supplies and hygiene products to help local K-12 students begin the new school year prepared as part of its fifth annual Back-to-School Extravaganza.
Donations will be accepted during regular business hours through the Aug. 23 giveaway at LAFCU’s West Lansing branch at 106 N. Marketplace Blvd., South Lansing branch at 1121 Keystone Ave. and Collins Road branch at 4600 Collins Road.
“This event is about more than school supplies — it’s about helping students walk into the classroom feeling confident, prepared and supported,” said Shelia Scott, LAFCU’s community financial education and business development officer. “When a community comes together to invest in its children, it creates opportunities for success that extend far beyond the school year.”
LAFCU is partnering with Two Men and a Truck and The Village Lansing to collect and distribute the donations. Requested items include backpacks, notebooks, paper, pencils, pens, folders, crayons, glue sticks and other classroom supplies, along with travel-size toiletries, deodorant, sanitary pads, disinfecting wipes and tissues.
