Mandy Emery, vice president of community involvement for IMCU and executive director of Indiana Members Foundation, said, “With all the uncertainties that the pandemic has created this year, the need for backpacks and school supplies has been larger than previous years. The generous support of our employees, members and partners didn’t slow down. We were able to continue our mission of putting the tools essential to succeed in school into the hands of those with the biggest need. We purchased 5,000 backpacks filled with school supplies to donate to 17 organizations and schools that support the youth in the communities served by IMCU. Having the tools necessary to learn at the start of school has proven to be essential for students to be successful throughout the year. We can’t thank you enough!”
