DUBUQUE, Iowa - With winter approaching, Dupaco Community Credit Union reported it helped gather more than 3,300 garments as part of its 17th annual "Coats for Kids" campaign. The credit union teamed with Cumulus Broadcasting, and Courtesy Cleaners to solicit usable children's coats and garments. Items were dropped off at any Dupaco location, cleaned by Courtesy Cleaners, and presented to Operation New View for distribution to families in need. "Hopefully, we have gone a long way in assuring that every child in need will weather this winter in warmth and comfort," said CEO Bob Hoefer. (c) 2007 The Credit Union Journal and SourceMedia, Inc.
