Maple Grove, MN - October 8, 2020 - 2020 has been a unique year for all of us, in many ways.  And to continue to show our support, TopLine will once again be participating in the statewide community give-back initiative CU Forward Day on Monday, October 12.

This annual give-back event is called CU Forward Day, and is a collaborative effort across the state of Minnesota where credit unions come together and dedicate the day to community service projects and volunteer opportunities to showcase the true power of collectively working together to make a positive impact in our communities.  For more details: https://www.mncun.org/cu-forward.html   Nearly 50 other credit unions and partners will be coming together to spread kindness throughout our communities on Monday, October 12, 2020.

TopLine, as a not-for-profit financial cooperative, is highly committed to the philosophy of “People Helping People” which is demonstrated by our active involvement in improving the financial lives of individuals and the betterment of our communities.
