Community Donations Help Prepare Families for the New School Year Through NBC4 and Telemundo 52 Partnership

GLENDALE, Calif., Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hundreds of local students will head back to school this fall better prepared thanks to the generosity of California Credit Union members, employees and the community. The credit union recently delivered an extensive donation of backpacks, filled supply pouches and thousands of classroom essentials to the Southeast-Rio Vista YMCA as part of NBC4 and Telemundo 52's annual Supporting Our Schools / Apoyando a Nuestras Escuelas campaign.

The backpacks and supplies were collected during California Credit Union's month-long school supply drive held at branches in Los Angeles and Orange counties. The donations will be distributed to local students and families served by the Southeast-Rio Vista YMCA, helping ensure they have the essential supplies needed to begin the school year with confidence.
