Here to lend a hand
(2024) Another season is upon us, and how wonderful it is to take a moment to remember the blessings of this year. The fast pace of our busy lives makes each moment so precious! It is also an honor to share that this year will be a little brighter for those in need. Between the generosity and compassion of our patrons and Prevail Bank, $20,885 will be split between nine local nonprofits!!
Through our Holiday Matching Funds campaign, monetary donations were collected from the public (Nov 12-Dec 6) with the understanding that we, Prevail Bank, will double the donations gifted, up to a total of $1,000 per branch! Each branch chose a different nonprofit. Of the total amount gifted, Prevail Bank contributed $7,122.
The benefiting nonprofits were:
