Newcenda Credit Union to title‑sponsor July 31 back‑to‑school supply giveaway at Santa Fe High
Summary
Newcenda Credit Union will serve as the title sponsor for a back‑to‑school supply giveaway on July 31 at Santa Fe High. Credit union staff from multiple branches will volunteer on site to hand out backpacks and supplies to help remove barriers to learning.
Newcenda Credit Union will be the title sponsor of a back‑to‑school supply giveaway set for July 31 at Santa Fe High, host Joe Abeyta announced on the Inside Santa Fe Public Schools podcast.
The event is intended to ensure students and classrooms have basic supplies before the school year begins. "We believe that in order to be ready to learn and engaged in school, you kinda have to eliminate as many barriers as possible," Sarah Keller, chief community engagement officer, said on the program.
Keller said the credit union does more than provide funding: branch staff will volunteer in person. "Our entire business development team and a bunch of our branch staff from our three branches here in Northern New Mexico or Santa Fe will all be out handing out school supplies. They're stuffing backpacks," she said.
Keller described the credit union’s long partnership with local schools and its regional footprint, saying the organization has worked with Santa Fe Public Schools since about 2009 and serves communities from Taos down the Rio Grande to Deming and into El Paso.
Host Abeyta urged listeners to check the podcast’s and school district’s social media for event timing and to thank the title sponsor at the giveaway. The episode noted the credit union staff will be wearing branded shirts at the distribution site.
The episode did not provide a start time for the giveaway; listeners were directed to social media for timing details.
