KCCU Coat Drive has Local Impact

Kellogg Community Credit Union (KCCU) held its annual coat drive throughout the month of October with the goal of helping members of the communities in which they serve stay warm during the upcoming cold months. KCCU knows that every coat, hat and mitten that they collect will be put to good use in our community.

This year, they donated over 435 new and gently used coats plus 186 cold weather items such as hats and scarves! A variety of sizes were donated ranging from infants to adult. KCCU partnered with local charities and nonprofits throughout West Michigan to make sure the items donated get to those in need.

“We’ve already had a taste of winter with more coming just around the corner, which makes us very grateful to everyone who participated in our coat drive this year,” stated CEO Tracy Miller. “It’s an honor to be able to collect and provide these essential winter items for local charitable organizations to distribute. We know how important it is to provide support to members in the communities we serve in any way we can. The success of this drive would not be possible without the KCCU team, KCCU members, and our community. I want to thank everyone who donated for your generous support this year. We couldn’t have done it without you!”

KCCU’s vision statement includes “providing opportunity and lifelong value to our members and our community.” KCCU takes this statement seriously and has demonstrated their commitment by hosting a Coat Drive for the past 22 years as they know there is always a great need for the items collected.
