Chicopee, Mass. – Polish National Credit Union (PNCU) is proud to host a community collection drive in support of Alianza, an organization dedicated to helping survivors of domestic violence. The drive will take place now through April 30, 2026, with donations being accepted at PNCU’s Front Street Branch, located at 923 Front Street in Chicopee.

Community members are encouraged to donate new, unused items from Alianza’s wish list. Requested items include personal care products, household essentials, baby items, and new clothing for women and children. Gift cards to stores such as Walmart, Target, CVS, and local grocery stores are also welcomed. For health and safety reasons, Alianza asks that all donated items be new and unopened.

As a thank-you for supporting the drive, anyone who donates will be entered into a raffle to win a gift basket. Participants simply need to fill out a raffle ticket with their name and phone number when dropping off their donation.

“Supporting organizations like Alianza is an important part of our commitment to the community,” said Michael Sugrue, President of Polish National Credit Union. “We encourage our members and neighbors to participate in the drive and help provide essential items that will support individuals and families during difficult times.”

PNCU remains committed to supporting organizations that strengthen and uplift the local community. By partnering with Alianza, PNCU hopes to help provide essential items that support individuals and families as they transition to safety and stability.

Donations can be dropped off during normal business hours at the PNCU Front Street Branch through April 30, 2026.
