Bank food drive a success

STILLMAN VALLEY – In conjunction with Stillman Bank’s annual Christmas Open House, the bank also held a food drive to benefit area families this Christmas.

A total of 1,242 pounds of non-perishable food items were collected during the weeklong event. Now in its eleventh year, the bank’s annual food drive has collected over 10,600 pounds of food since its inception.

The Christmas Food Drive kicked off at all Stillman Bank locations on Friday, Nov. 30 and continued through Saturday, Dec. 8. Donations were made just in time for Christmas to several area food pantries including: Bread of Life pantry in Stillman Valley, People Helping People in Byron, Lifeline in Oregon, Hand in Hand in Rochelle, Old Stone Church pantry in Rockton and the Rockford Rescue Mission.
