MassMutual Federal Credit Union Book Drive Benefits Schools

SPRINGFIELD — MassMutual Federal Credit Union (MMFCU) announced the successful completion of its April children’s book drive, which saw the collection of almost 400 books through local member donations and a customized Amazon wish list. The books collected were donated to a member-nominated school, Talmadge Elementary in Springfield, providing students with valuable resources to enrich their educational experience.

MMFCU will match the value of books collected for Talmadge Elementary with donations to Edward M. Kennedy Academy for Health Careers in Boston and O’Connor Elementary School in Mesa, Ariz. This initiative will ensure that the impact of the book drive extends well beyond Springfield.

MMFCU’s commitment to community service went beyond the book drive. The credit union partnered with MassMutual’s Community Responsibility team to organize a volunteer effort to assemble activity kits for the recipient schools. These kits are designed to provide engaging and educational activities that complement the donated books, further enhancing the students’ learning experiences.

The success of the book drive and volunteer efforts underscores MMFCU’s dedication to supporting education. The collaboration with MassMutual’s Community Responsibility team highlights the power of collective efforts in making a meaningful difference in the lives of young learners.

MMFCU extends its sincerest gratitude to all donors and volunteers who contributed to this year’s children’s book drive.
