FARGO — For the third time, Choice Bank has donated $20,000 to the Great Plains Food Bank.
The help didn't stop there, though, as members of the bank also volunteered their time and bagged produce, loaded and unloaded trucks, and just tried to take some of the strain from workers.
"A $20,000 gift, we're able to provide 60,000 meals with that. That can certainly go a long way to feed a lot of people that are in a difficult situation," said Jared Slinde, Communications Manager for Great Plains Food Bank.
While Slinde said the food bank is very grateful, Choice Bank was more than happy to help out, especially during the pandemic.
"What can we do to help the communities and help people who can't work because of COVID? Or maybe they're not in school because of COVID. And this is one way that we can give back and offer help to our communities," said Danne Doering, a manager with Choice Bank.
