DONATE YOUR BAGS, HELP THE HOMELESS
|
We have collection boxes at each of our offices for your plastic bags. The bags we collect will be turned into sleeping mats for the homeless by a local group at the Carlton Bethesda Church. This group meets weekly to create and donate these mats. Each mat takes 500-700 bags to make!

Each month Northwoods CU employees
suggest community organizations they are passionate about and the whole staff votes for a winner. On Fridays, our staff pays to wear jeans and all of that money goes towards that month's winning organization! Our employees have raised more than $2000 already this year through their jeans day fundraiser!
This quarter, the donations went to First Witness Child Advocacy Center, Feed My Starving Children and the Carlton Bulldog Spirit Club.
