Dear Members,
Summer may be in full swing, but the school year is right around the corner. For many families, and for teachers who often purchase supplies for their classrooms, that can mean a big expense. Deloitte’s annual back-to-school survey puts the average cost at about $570 per child.
For years, Adirondack Regional FCU members have stepped up to help. This year is no different. We are once again holding our school supply drive to ensure local students have what they need to succeed when the first bell rings.
You’ll find all the details below. Thank you, as always, for your generosity and commitment to our community.
Sincerely,
Basel Farhat
President and CEO

You can help by bringing supplies to any of our three branch lobbies during regular business hours. We’ll bring those items, in turn, to schools, which will distribute them to families in the Tupper Lake, Plattsburgh City and Parishville School Districts.
