Our Communities:
Planters Bank team members are personally involved in giving back to the community in all sorts of ways. We coach youth sports, teach Sunday School, lead civic organizations, run 5ks in support of local charities, participate in festivals and events...our volunteerism is incredibly diverse and widespread. The common thread is our shared gratitude for what we've been given and our commitment to pay it forward. We appreciate the support of you, our customer, with these various projects. Without your support with toy drives, purchases of baked items and tickets for drawings, these projects would not have been possible. Thank you for your continued support in helping us give back to our communities.
