is seeking donations for its back-to-school supply drive to benefit foster children in the care of Children’s Aid and Family Services, the bank said in a news release.

The bank is collecting supplies through Sept. 15 at both the Teaneck and Bogota locations.

“Bogota Savings Bank is a proud supporter of Children’s Aid and Family Services,” Joseph Coccaro, bank president and CEO said in the release. “So often we take for granted that there are kids in our community who need help with the most basic supplies for school. We hope that this drive will encourage area residents to look around their offices for any surplus supplies or to add a few extra items to their cart the next time they are shopping.”
