HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif.--Nuvision Credit Union announced that its annual NuvisionCares Helping Kids in Our Communities campaign has delivered clothes, winter boots and school supplies to hundreds of underprivileged youth in California and Alaska.
As part of its long-standing commitment to local communities, the credit union hosted a series of clothing, boot and socks, and school backpack drives through its NuvisionCares Helping Kids in Our Communities program, which began July 1st and ended August 18th. With the help of donations from credit union members, the local communities, and the credit union, the six-week initiative helped provide clothing essentials and school supplies to less fortunate kids to help them stay in school and build a better future.
In Huntington Beach, California, Nuvision hosted its fourth annual clothing drive for Robyne’s Nest, a community organization in Huntington Beach that supports at-risk and homeless students. The credit union’s team of volunteers delivered hundreds of donated new clothing items to Robyne’s Nest that will be distributed to disadvantaged teens to help them stay in school and succeed.
“At Robyne’s Nest, we are so grateful for the ongoing support from Nuvision Credit Union,” said Robyne Wood, Founder & Executive Director of Robyne’s Nest. “Their commitment through initiatives like the clothing drive, food drives, and fundraising efforts helps us provide stability and dignity to our students who are facing some of life’s toughest challenges. These partnerships not only meet immediate needs like clothing and food, but they also show our youth that their community believes in them and is invested in their future.”
During its NuvisionCares campaign, the credit union also partnered with Long Beach, California non-profit His Little Feet, for that organization’s 11th annual Back to School Fair in Long Beach. Nuvision donated $2,500 towards backpacks and much needed school supplies to His Little Feet to help kids in the local community get a head start to the school year. Nuvision volunteers were on hand during the event to help kids pick out new shoes and choose their backpacks.
“His Little Feet is grateful beyond words for the incredible support Nuvision has provided to us for the second year in a row,” noted Hali Wolf, Founder and CEO of His Little Feet. “Nuvision’s generosity has fueled our mission not only in funding, but also dozens of volunteer hours serving at our Back to School events. This summer we were able to provide over 200 kids in our local foster care and shelters with brand new name brand backpacks full of school supplies. The children and parents were blown away by the love and level of support they received by our partnership. We can’t thank Nuvision enough!”
