August Community Highlight

At NESC Credit Union, we believe in the power of community. Each month, we shine a light on local efforts that make a meaningful difference. This August, we’re proud to support Catie’s Closet and their Back-to-School Hygiene Drive — helping local students start the school year feeling confident, prepared, and cared for.
 

Catie's Closet Hygiene Supply Drive

Help Local Students Start the School Year with Confidence

At NESC Credit Union, we believe every student deserves to feel their best walking into the classroom. That’s why we’re proud to support Catie’s Closet in their mission to provide students in need with access to basic hygiene essentials — items many of us may take for granted.
 
We’re collecting new, unused hygiene items at all NESC branch locations now through August 28.
 
Items Needed Include:
  • Toothpaste & toothbrushes
  • Shampoo & conditioner
  • Body wash 
  • Deodorant
  • Lotion & wipes
  • Feminine hygiene products
  • Socks & underwear (new only)
Your donation will be included in hygiene packs distributed directly to students through Catie’s Closet’s local school partners — helping kids feel clean, confident, and ready to learn.
 
📍 Drop off items at any NESC Credit Union branch
🗓️ Now through Wednesday, August 28
 
Together, we can give back in a meaningful way — and help local students start the school year feeling supported.
