Help us equip 3,200 Students for a Successful School Year!
On July 30, the Community Choice Credit Union Foundation is giving away free backpacks filled with school supplies to 3,200 students across Michigan at our annual Give Big, Give Backpacks event!
Empowering children to thrive in their academic journey
Every year, the Community Choice Foundation helps students feel prepared for the upcoming year with the tools they need for school. All students will walk away with a brand-new backpack filled with the supplies they need to kick off the school year the right way. This treasured tradition is our way of Giving Big to the communities we serve.
