Suncoast Schools Federal Credit Union Foundation donated $5,000 to The Foundation for Lee County Public Schools during their ‘Back to School’ Supply Drive. The funds will be used to purchase school supplies and other necessities for the Foundation’s Teacher Resource Center. The Teacher Resource Center was created to collect and store new and reusable items donated by businesses and individuals to benefit teachers, students and schools at no cost to them. More than 150 teachers visit the Resource Center each month to gather supplies for their classrooms and students in need.
“Making a donation to The Back to School Supply Drive speaks to our mission by providing teachers with the necessary items for the upcoming school year,” says Greg Pasanen, regional vice president of Suncoast Schools Federal Credit Union Foundation. “Teachers often take money from their own pocket for these supplies so we want to help them and the students in their care enjoy a successful year.”
