Peoples State Bank donates to community food pantries ...

Each year, in honor of Giving Tuesday, Peoples State Bank gives a donation to local community food pantries in the area. In 2024 Peoples State Bank donated a total of $8,000 to local food pantries, including West Grant Lions Club, Clayton County Food Shelf, Coulee Cap Food Pantry, Gays Mills Food Pantry, Lancaster Food Pantry, Living Faith Food Pantry, Allamakee County Food Shelf and Six Rivers Food Pantry.

Giving Tuesday is a global generosity movement that was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate and celebrate generosity. Giving Tuesday is always observed the Tuesday following Thanksgiving but its impact is felt far beyond that date of observance. Peoples State Bank wants to encourage others to join the movement and give, whether it’s giving time as a volunteer, a donation of some sort, making someone smile or the power of being a voice in the local community.
