COMPASS COMMUNITY CREDIT UNION HOLDS BACK TO SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE

Eureka, CA - Compass Community Credit Union recently participated in a Back-to-School drive for Humboldt County families. The credit union, along with Bicoastal Media and the Humboldt County Office of Education, teamed up for the Stuff the Bus Back-to-School Drive. Collection bins were made available at the Compass Arcata and Henderson Center branches, starting on July 28th through August 22nd.

The Stuff the Bus big event was held on Friday, August 15th in the Walmart parking lot in Eureka. The community was encouraged to bring school supplies with the goal of stuffing the bus. Items collected included backpacks, notebooks, pencils, and more to help students across Humboldt County start the year strong.

“We believe in investing in local students and their education,” said Ray Litchfield, President and CEO of Compass Community Credit Union. We want to make it easier for students to succeed by giving them the tools and supplies they need. Partnering with Bi-Coastal and the Humboldt County Office of Education made a lot of sense and together, we made a tremendous impact on the lives of these students.”

Suzanne Tibbles, Sales & Marketing Account Executive from Bi-Coastal Media added, “I just wanted to take a moment to thank Compass Community Credit Union again for being a valued sponsor of this year’s Stuff the Bus promotion. The event was a success, and it truly would not have been possible without the support and partnership of Compass, along with many others in the community. We are so grateful!!!”
