North Cascades Bank is donating $50,000 to food banks throughout North Central Washington. While food banks are always in need of donations, local food needs have increased exponentially due to the impact of COVID-19.
“This week, food banks in all of our marketplaces are going to receive a cash donation from us to supplement the diminishing food donations they are currently receiving,” said Charlie Guildner, president and CEO of the bank. “An added benefit to our communities is that these funds will be spent locally on groceries and supplies, further reinvesting these dollars back into our local economy.”
North Cascades Bank is a division of Glacier Bank of Kalispell, Montana. Glacier Bank is a subsidiary of Glacier Bancorp, Inc. (GBCI), a publicly traded regional bank holding company headquartered in Kalispell, Montana, operating individual bank divisions including North Cascades Bank.
