MAPLE GROVE, Minn., June 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TopLine Financial Credit Union, a Twin Cities-based member-owned financial services cooperative, held their first Sock Drive during the month of May benefitting three local non-profits, African Education & Health Initiative (AFEDHI), Union Gospel Mission Twin Cities and YMCA of the North Youth and Family Services. TopLine members and employees donated packs of socks to help bring comfort to families in need in our local communities.
Employees were able to participate by donating new pairs of socks and money in exchange for a “Foundation Friday/Saturday” sticker, allowing them to wear jeans to work. TopLine and community members could also purchase items from the credit union’s Amazon Wishlist or Target Registry and have them delivered directly to TopLine, and in return delivered to the charitable partners. When the program ended, TopLine employees and members had donated over 750 pairs of socks and $1,130 in cash to assist local individuals and families.
“We are dedicated to collaborating with our community non-profit partners to address their current needs,” stated Mick Olson, President and CEO of TopLine. “Our people-first philosophy is exemplified by the generosity of our donors, and we sincerely appreciate their compassion in supporting others through challenging times.”
