Verve was proud to take part in the Tools 4 Schools drive this summer, helping give students the school supplies they need to reach their fullest potential in the classroom. In addition to accepting school supply donations at our branches, Verve team members made a huge impact through their own donations. We put on a “Casual for a Cause” week, where team members could pay $5 to dress casually for a day or $20 for the entire week. Our teams raised about $1,100, which we then used to purchase a variety of school supplies for area students.

Neenah/Appleton locations supported the Fox Valley community through the Community Clothes Closet in Menasha. Oshkosh locations supported the Oshkosh community through the Boys and Girls Club & Oaklawn Elementary School. Fond du Lac locations supported the Fond du Lac community through the Boys and Girls Club of Fond du Lac. Sherwood, Brillion and Two Rivers locations supported Hilbert, Two Rivers, and Brillion High Schools by giving directly to the schools. La Crosse-area locations supported the La Crosse community through the Catholic Charities.

Building a Strong Community from the Ground Up

A strong educational system is at the heart of a thriving community, and Verve is proud to help kids succeed in school through the Tools 4 Schools drive. In fact, Education and Community form two of Verve’s guiding 7 Cooperative Principles. It’s easy to see how the lessons kids learn in school create a foundation for commerce and goodwill to flourish in our community, and that’s one lesson Verve is happy to pay forward.
