LBS Financial Credit Union Donates School Supplies and Classroom Items to Three Local Schools
Long Beach, CA – October 27, 2023 – LBS Financial Credit Union delivered thousands of school supplies to three local schools in Long Beach, Bellflower, and Hawaiian Gardens as part of their annual Adopt a School Program.
LBS Financial adopts a different school in ABC Unified School District, Bellflower Unified School District, and Long Beach Unified School District every year and works with the principals to receive a wish list of items needed for students and classrooms. This year the Credit Union adopted Fedde Academy in ABC Unified School District, Washington Elementary in Bellflower Unified School District, and Garfield Elementary in Long Beach Unified School District. The Credit Union purchased thousands of dollars of items on each school’s wish list and also held a school supply drive at local branches so its members could also participate and contribute. In September, the Credit Union delivered items like art supplies, books, classroom games, crayons, markers, notebooks, toys, student incentives, social-emotional wellness items and more. The delivery for Garfield included chain link fence signage in the form of Put-In-Cups, spelling out “Tigers,” their school mascot.
“We are filled with gratitude to have the opportunity to have this partnership with LBS Financial Credit Union and its members,” said Principal of Washington Elementary, Patricia Diaz Arroyo. “Receiving this wonderful donation of school supplies and incentives for our students was amazing! Building futures and supporting student achievement is our goal at Washington Elementary and the donation provided by the team and members of LBS Financial Credit Union will go a long way in helping our students succeed.”
This is LBS Financial’s thirteenth year of adopting local schools within the Bellflower, ABC, and Long Beach Unified School Districts.
