MARSHFIELD – Citizens State Bank of Loyal recently gave back to the community, as part of a statewide campaign.

During the week of April 22-26, banks from across the Badger State participated in the Wisconsin Bankers Association (WBA) Power of Community campaign to highlight the role banks play in the communities they serve.

Launched by the Wisconsin Bankers Association, the campaign is a way for banks to celebrate the communities they serve, whether it’s volunteering at a local non-profit, fundraising for a charitable organization, or using a bank office to collect items to be shared with a local group.

“We are proud of our community and our role in helping families grow and businesses prosper. While we strive every day to serve our customers, it is especially rewarding when we volunteer directly in the community,” said Assistant Vice President Harley Meyer.

“It’s exciting to be coordinating our usual service efforts with other Wisconsin banks during the Power of Community week to really showcase how banks help their communities,” explained Meyer.

CSB branches volunteered with local organizations. The Granton branch assisted a local food pantry and senior citizens group. Neillsville volunteered with a food pantry and Clark County Humane Society. Loyal aided a food pantry, the local library, and participated in ditch cleaning. Spencer assisted at the Spencer Kids Group, and Marshfield volunteered at the Ronald McDonald House.
