BATTLE CREEK, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Hundreds of children across Southwest Michigan had a brighter Christmas, thanks to a special drive to collect toys and other gifts last month.
Kellogg Community Credit Union (KCCU) partnered with three organizations to help provide toys for children and teens. KCCU set a goal to collect 500 toys, games, and gift cards to help support the efforts of the Salvation Army, There’s Enough, and the St Joseph County United Way, but they were able to exceed their goal by collecting 528 items.
For the 18th consecutive year, KCCU was host to the Salvation Army Angel Tree toy drive, utilizing eight of their branch locations throughout Battle Creek, Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids, as drop off locations for toy donations. In addition, KCCU’s Three Rivers branch collected toys for the St Joseph County United Way, and Marshall’s branch supported the toy drive for There’s Enough.
