In response to local educators’ back-to-school needs, OTIS FCU is hosting a “Totes for Teachers” giveaway today (August 25) from 11:00 am – 3:00 pm at 170 Main Street in Jay. OTIS FCU totes containing school and cleaning supplies will be handed out to local teachers and staff who work at schools within the credit union’s field of membership.
Jasmine Jackman, Loan Officer at OTIS FCU, initially proposed the idea of providing back-to-school supplies to local educators. When asked what made her think of organizing this activity for the community, she responded, “I saw my nephew’s back-to-school wish list from his teacher, and I realized that there was a local need that OTIS FCU could help fulfill.”
Together with Kimberly Couture, OTIS FCU’s Director of Marketing & Communications, she organized the purchase of special OTIS totes and a myriad of back-to-school supplies to give away.
Any local teacher (or other school staff member) is welcome to stop by OTIS FCU’s Member Resource Room during the event for free back-to-school supplies and freshly popped popcorn. A School ID must be presented at the time of pickup.
The credit union is pleased to help simplify the start of the school year with this special give-away, and thanks everyone from bus drivers to teachers, administrators, and ed techs for all that they do to support local youth.
