TCF Bank and Milwaukee Public Schools Partner to Keep Kids Warm this Winter

Help Milwaukee Public Schools’ students in need by donating new hats,
scarves, gloves and mittens at TCF Bank branches in the Milwaukee area

WAYZATA, Minn. & MILWAUKEE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–TCF National Bank (TCF Bank), a subsidiary of TCF Financial Corporation
(TCF) (NYSE: TCB), and Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) today announced
their partnership to ensure kids stay warm and safe during the winter
months. MPS is holding its annual Mitten Tree Drive and for the first
time TCF Bank’s 16 branches in the Milwaukee area are public collection
sites.

Residents can donate new handmade or store-bought hats, scarves, gloves
and mittens at TCF Bank branches and at MPS Central Services, the only
collection site in past years, from Nov. 30, 2015 to Jan. 8, 2016.

“We empower our team members to make a difference in the community
whether they are at work or at home,” said Lou Campos, director of
retail banking at TCF Bank. “When one of our branch managers shared the
needs of MPS students, the retail banking team came together to help.
Our team members and customers are incredibly generous and we know they
will help young people as the temperature dips below freezing.”

“More than 80 percent of MPS students are economically disadvantaged and
they need our help to stay warm and safe during the winter months,” said
Milwaukee Public Schools superintendent Dr. Darienne Driver. “We are
grateful TCF Bank is offering its 16 conveniently located branches as
donation sites. With more donation sites, evening hours and the ability
to drop off items during weekend bank hours, we’re confident that we can
help even more MPS students.”

Donated items are quickly distributed to schools with most items given
to students before the holiday break. In the past, the Mitten Tree drive
has brought more than 1,400 winter items to students in need.
