Donating toys to children in need

Country Bank collects toys every November and December in all of our banking centers. Toys are delivered mid December to local police stations and schools to support local families in need. Gifts go to children ranging in age from newborn to teen and can include clothing, crafts, toys, games and even self care items. All gifts are new and unwrapped in the original package.

175 Thanksgiving Meals

To celebrate 175 years of giving back

In 2025, our banking centers put together Thanksgiving meal kits, complete with a voucher for a fresh turkey and sides like mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce, green beans and rolls. Kits were delivered ahead of Thanksgiving to local police stations and schools to support families in need.

The Giving Continues

Small Business Saturday & Giving Tuesday

Small business Saturday, is a day dedicated to celebrate and support local businesses that make our communities thrive. At Country Bank, we’re proud to partner with small businesses every day and encourage you to shop local.

In the spirit of Small Business Saturday and Giving Tuesday, our banking center teams purchase $6,000 in local gift cards to support small businesses each year. These gift cards are then randomly distributed to customers in our banking centers throughout the month of December to help brighten the holiday season.
