In conjunction with Stillman Bank’s 143rd anniversary, the bank held a food drive to benefit area families this summer. Nearly 1,000 non-perishable food items were collected during the one-and-a-half-week event.
The Community Food Drive kicked off at all Stillman Bank locations on June 9 and continued through June 20. Donations were made to several area food pantries including: Bread of Life Pantry in Stillman Valley, Lifeline Food and Self-Help Project in Oregon, Old Stone Church Food Pantry in Rockton, People Helping People in Byron, Rochelle Christian Food Pantry in Rochelle, and Rock River Valley Pantry in Rockford.
In addition to their Community Food Drive, they also recently hosted an employee “Casual Day for Local Food Pantries” fundraiser! All Stillman Bank employees were encouraged to make a monetary donation in exchange for casual dress. Employee donations for the day totaled $546 and all six local food pantries above received $91.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by Stillman Bank to contribute to this great cause. For more information on Stillman Bank or to find out more about Stillman’s products and services, please visit www.stillmanbank.com.
