Backpack Drive for Madison Students in Need

Madison Credit Union is proud to once again partner with the Goodman Community Center for their Backpack & School Supply Drive—and we need your help!

Every year, hundreds of local kids start school without the basic supplies they need to succeed. With your donation, we can help change that. This year the goal is to help at least 750 kids!

We’re collecting backpacks and essential school supplies now through August 14th, and every item makes a difference. From notebooks and folders to pencils and markers—your support helps students feel confident, prepared, and excited for the year ahead.

As a fun bonus, this year’s supply drive is part of a friendly competition between local businesses, and the winner gets something pretty special: a visit from Bucky Badger himself!

Let’s show our community spirit, help local families, and bring Bucky to MCU!
