Project Backpack

Together We’re Packing Possibility

Every backpack. Every notebook. Every pencil. Every act of kindness helps build a brighter future for a child in our community. North Bay Credit Union is proud to kick off Project Backpack with a $500 donation toward school supplies for local students. We hope our contribution inspires others to join us in helping students start the school year prepared, confident, and ready to learn.

From July 27 through August 7, 2026, North Bay CU is collecting school supplies and backpacks at all branch locations. With the support of our members and communities, we can help local students start the school year prepared, confident, and ready to learn.
