Northeast Community Credit Union is helping to support students as they prepare for a new school year by sponsoring both of Carter County’s backpack programs.
NCCU donated $1,000 to both of Carter County’s Back to School Bashes. The Back to School Bashes gives away thousands of backpacks filled with school supplies to students in the Carter County and Elizabethton City school systems each year.
Back to School Bash Ministries will host an event this Saturday, July 29, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Hampton High School. The Bash will have free school supplies, food, activities, characters and more. Items will be given away on a first-come, first-serve basis and children must be accompanied by an adult.
The Elizabethton City Schools will be hosting their Back to School Bash on Monday, July 31 from 6-8 p.m. at Elizabethton High School. This bash will have free backpacks, school supplies, snacks, and games and activities on the field for children.
Northeast Community Credit Union will be at each Back to School Bash with special giveaways for students.
Northeast Community Credit Union has been serving the community since October 1952 when it was chartered as a credit union by the State of Tennessee. Northeast Community Credit Union is a not-for-profit financial cooperative. It is open to anyone who lives, works, worships or attends school in Carter, Johnson, Washington, Unicoi and Sullivan counties along with their immediate family members.
