Join Us in Helping Our Neighbors

Fall Food Drive October 1-31 at every Banner branch

Hunger is a very real issue in every community across the nation – including ours. According to the USDA, more than 43 million people, including 11 million children, in the United States are food insecure*.  

Please consider joining our annual drive by making a food or cash donation of any amount at your local branch. 100% of your donation will be passed on to feed individuals and families in the communities we serve. In fact, every branch team selects the local food bank or food-assistance nonprofit to receive the donations in their community.

“Fall months can be especially challenging for families already struggling to make ends meet, that is why we host our annual bank-wide food drive now,” said Karen Harrison, Executive Vice President of Community Banking.
