Local agencies to benefit from successful Planters Bank Season of Giving

Planters’ Bank is donating $102,902 to twelve community agencies throughout western Kentucky and Tennessee as part of a successful Season of Giving campaign.

According to a news release, the Season of Giving is a bank tradition that has a goal of supporting community organizations. This year’s campaign will go to benefit the Joy Closet in the amount of $6,842, Aaron McNeil House with $5,130, Alpha Pregnancy Care in the amount of $5,588, DAPS in Dawson Springs at $8,020 and many other agencies in the region.

CEO Elizabeth McCoy says, “We selected organizations to support that we knew we could make twice the impact. We collected items in donation drives for 3 months in all of our branches. Then, we matched those donations’ monetary value with our own dollar for dollar donations, resulting in over $100,000 in checks to local groups.”
