Heartland Credit Union (Heartland) collected 375 pounds of
personal care items in the recent “Personal Care Drive” for
Neighbors, Inc., a non-profit social service agency serving

personal care items are always in short supply and these
items are always welcome.

again with this unique drive,” said Kathy Harrington,
Heartland Interim President. “We are thankful for the
response from the community and would like to thank everyone
for their donations.”

drive include; South Family YMCA, Old World Pizza, Black
