North Island Credit Union Launches Annual Book Drive to Support San Diego Students
North Island Credit Union has launched its annual book drive in partnership with ABC 10News, inviting the community to donate new books for elementary school students across San Diego County. The initiative supports the station's 'Storytime' childhood literacy campaign and is now in its fifth year. Donations will be distributed to Title 1 schools where access to reading materials may be limited. The credit union aims to inspire a love of reading by providing children with books they can keep, helping expand educational opportunities beyond the classroom. Monetary donations are also accepted for purchasing additional books. The campaign aligns with broader efforts led by ABC 10News and supported by the San Diego Council on Literacy through monthly mini book fairs at underserved schools. Since its launch in 2016, the 'If You Give a Child a Book...' literacy initiative has distributed over one million books. North Island Credit Union is part of California Credit Union, which serves more than 200,000 members and offers inclusive financial services to underserved communities.
