1. One morning, as a delivery driver was unloading boxes into Schools First CU, he noticed something odd on the wall of the vault. Written in sharpie were words: ‘Take what you need, leave what you can.’ No one else seemed to notice it, but from that day forward, small items started vanishing—pens, staplers, even snacks from the break room fridge. Soon enough, everyone in the office started leaving little notes and gifts behind—a pack of cookies here, a bottle of water there. Before long, the break room felt like someone’s warm and generous home away from home. The graffiti message remained, but now it read: ‘Take what you want, leave what you feel.’ And life at Schools First CU became a little bit more cheerful every day.

Turned out it was a neighborhood kid who liked hanging around the bank after school. The driver laughed it off, thinking maybe they should start delivering packages during recess instead.

Curious, he picked up another box—this one felt like it weighed a ton!

Turned out, it was just a new shipment of heavy-duty pens for the bank’s employees.
