Back-to-School Party & Backpack Give Back with OUR Credit Union

By Janice Quigg, Senior Marketing Specialist, OUR Credit Union August 15, 2017

OUR Credit Union supports the communities we serve and happily donates funds each year to many worthy organizations within our community. With a passion for seeing people live happy and healthy lives, we focus on helping equip individuals with the tools they need to succeed.

That’s why we’re excited to provide over 200 backpacks filled with supplies to children in need this school year. We’ve partnered with a few great organizations for this project like:

·        Troy Community Coalition: dedicated to improving the quality of life for all who live or work in Troy, by promoting a lifestyle free from the abuse of alcohol and drugs.  

·        Turning Point Macomb: provides programs and resources that enable victims/survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault to regain control of their lives.

·        Boys and Girls Club of Troy: provides a safe and positive place for youth in Oakland, Macomb and Wayne Counties.

Assisting our members with the tools they need to live financially success lives is the root of our purpose, but it has always been a passion of ours to give back to the community around us. It’s a part of the credit union difference: people helping people.

Join us as we celebrate this initiative with a Back to School party Saturday, August 26, 2017 from 10 am - 2 pm. The party will be held at our Main Branch located at 3070 Normandy Rd Royal Oak, MI 48073. We’ll celebrate with face painting, ice cream, raffles, a visit with Oakey Dokey and more. The first 150 kids 12 and under will receive a back-to-school pencil pouch will supplies. Donations are not required to attend, but if you’d like to support our community initiatives and the Backpack Give Back we’ll be accepting donations at the event.
