TEMPE, Ariz.–Landings CU's 8th Annual Clothing Drive helped lead to the donation of 225 uniform pieces, including shirts, skirts, and dresses to the Connecting With Kids program (CWK) from the funds collected from the drive.
CWK is a service center that provides everyday essentials and school supplies to students in the Tempe Elementary School District. The program gives students of low-income families the boost they need to start school year fresh and ready to learn.
"This program is near to my heart", says Adrianne Rexius, Landings HR Director. "There are so many things that kids have to worry about these days, not knowing what they are going to wear shouldn't be one of them."
Employees and LCU members donated money during July and raised $1,400, exceeding 2016’s donations by $400 and 75 uniform pieces.
