Bank Independent seeks toy donations
All locations of Bank Independent are now accepting donations of new, unwrapped toys for area children through Dec. 14 as part of the Bank’s eighth annual Toy Share drive.
“Each year our friends and neighbors generously donate more toys and help more children in our own communities than in the previous year,” said Macke Mauldin, president and CEO of Bank Independent. “I’m confident that this year will be no different, and we’ll make Christmas morning brighter for more families than ever before.”
In 2017 the Bank’s Toy Share drive provided more than 3,350 toys and more than $1,125 in cash donations to partner organizations in time for distribution to local families for Christmas.
Charitable organizations distributing Toy Share donations include the Department of Human Resources in Franklin County, as well as the Angel Tree Program in partnership with Lexington High School, Christmas Charities Year Round of Madison County, Committee on Church Cooperation in Morgan County, Cornerstone Church in Lawrence County, DHR of Lawrence and Limestone counties, Lauderdale County Christian Children’s Home, Rogersville Volunteer Fire Department, Safeplace of the Shoals and William Porter Foundation of the Shoals.
Toy Share is the last of four annual Share drives hosted by Bank Independent in 2018 to give back to the community as part of Bank Independent’s Helping Hands initiative.
