New Release for school supply donations <br /> PCU Donates School Supply-Faller Backpacks to Focal Shelters <br /> (Woodbury, MN—September 22, 2005) Each fall students return to school armed with a wealth <br /> of school supplies which are essential for a successful school year. Unfortunately, not all <br /> families have the means to provide these items. To help fill that void employees of Postal Credii <br /> Union (PCU)recently purchased, filled and donated 30 backpacks to local shelters and school <br /> supplies to local schools in the greater St. Paul metropolitan area. <br /> Each backpack contained a variety of school supplies, such as pencils, notebooks, a ruler, <br /> colored markers,pocket folders, and more. Employees were asked to pick up extras while <br /> shopping for their own students prior to the start of the school year. <br /> "It's important for students to have the supplies they need to be successful," said PCU President <br /> Russ Plunkett. "So often teachers will buy extra supplies to have in the classroom for those in <br /> need, and pay for them out of their own pocket. Our employees enthusiastically embraced this <br /> oppmunity to help fill that gap." <br /> 1� <br />
