DuPage Credit Union Back-To-School Supply Drive

DuPage Credit Union is proud to support the Walter and Connie Payton Foundation by collecting donations for their annual Back-to-School Supply Drive now through August 3rd. Donated supplies will go directly to the assistance of underprivileged children attending schools in Englewood, which is a low-income neighborhood in Chicago with 35 schools.

You can make a difference for a child by bringing new school supply donations to a DuPage Credit Union Branch Office. You can donate one item or many, either way you will be making a difference in a kindergarten/grade school-aged child's educational development.
