Great Southern Bank is committing up to $300,000 to be distributed to agencies serving Great Southern local markets across its 11-state franchise, in support of COVID-19 relief efforts
Through Feeding America food banks, local United Way agencies and other nonprofit organizations, the funds will address food insecurity and support critical health and human services during this time of crisis.
“While we don’t fully comprehend the magnitude the COVID-19 crisis will have, we do understand the burden that has been placed on the livelihood of vulnerable children, families and businesses in all of our communities,” said Great Southern Bank President and CEO Joe Turner. “As the needs in our communities continue to rapidly escalate, we must take swift action to provide resources where there are gaps, and help our local communities protect their most vulnerable citizens.
“We appreciate the tireless work of our nonprofit partners, who take on an even greater and more critical importance in times like these,” Turner added.
