Giving back is at the heart of our business model, because a community bank has an obligation to support its residents and businesses.

Donations/Sponsorships
When the community calls, Peoples Bank responds. Each year, we help sponsors hundreds of community events, projects, and celebrations in communities throughout Warren, Marion, Wayne, and Appanoose Counties.
If it weren't for our communities, we wouldn’t be here. That’s why we see ourselves as a genuine community partner responsible for providing much-needed financial support to a wide variety of organizations.
We’ve grouped our major projects here, by branch, for you to see all of the activities we sponsored in 2019.

Request a Donation
If your community organization or event needs funding, we invite you to Submit a Donation Request
While we’d love to be able to fund every request, that’s not always possible. We stretch our dollars to meet the needs of our communities. Our focus is always local first. We give priority to requests that come from within our branch communities in Warren, Marion, Wayne, and Appanoose Counties.
