From US Federal Credit Union:

US Federal Credit Union (USFCU) is sponsoring myTalk 107.1 FM radio station’s Back to School Drive benefiting The Caring Tree. Drop-off bins will be available at all eight USFCU branch locations for items to be donated beginning Monday, July 29 through Saturday, August 10. 

Donations to The Caring Tree are given directly to students in need in Minnesota. The Caring Tree collects, purchases, and distributes school supplies to students across the state. The list of needed school supplies includes notebooks, folders, pencils, crayons, glue sticks, rulers and much more.

“We are proud to participate in the Back to School Drive,” said Bill Raker, President/CEO of USFCU. “We hope that through our efforts every Minnesota student will have the necessary school supplies to succeed.” 

When community members bring in school supplies or a monetary donation to one of the US Federal drop sites they will receive an exclusive offer from USFCU. 

Radio hosts Elizabeth and Margery from myTalk 107.1FM will do a live broadcast from US Federal’s corporate location in Burnsville (1400 Riverwood Drive) from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Monday, August 5. Listeners are especially encouraged to donate items during that time.
