Supporting the Community

Resource Bank also announced that employees collected and donated 510 pounds of nonperishable food to the Northshore Food Bank.

The bank said the donation comes at a critical time of year, as many families experience increased food insecurity during the summer because school meal programs are unavailable. According to the bank, the donated items will help provide nutritious meals to individuals and families throughout the season.
