Julia Schreifels, Vice President and Amy O’Konek, Marketing Specialist presented one of the donations to Heather Kliewer, Executive Director of CAER and her team on March 31, 2020.
"We are very grateful to have this opportunity to give to our local foods shelves. With so many unexpected and unplanned challenges about COVID-19 in our community, The Bank of Elk River and its employees wanted to support those who needed it the most," said Schreifels.
The Bank of Elk River also encourages the community to join them in giving back to local food shelves with their #GiveLocal campaign thebankofelkriver.com/givelocal. Individuals can donate directly through the bank or online at InterestforOthers.org/TBER. Using Interest for Others, people can select local or statewide charities and know that 100% of their donation is given to their charity of choice with no processing fees deducted. The Bank of Elk River was the first bank in the nation to partner with Interest for Others bringing this local service to their customers and community.
