Supporting The Shepherd’s Staff and Carroll County Children Help Fill a Stocking for a Child This Holiday Season

Join the Bank in supporting The Shepherd’s Staff and Carroll County children in need by donating fun and useful items this holiday season. This special Helping Hands initiative runs through Tuesday, December 1. 

Customers and local residents may bring one or more items listed below to any of the Bank’s seven convenient locations in Carroll County, MD. Place your items in the large stocking on display in the office. Bank staff members will then work like Santa’s Elves to create individual stockings filled with the collected donations for children served by The Shepherd’s Staff.  

Please join us in making a difference for local children in Carroll County this holiday season. Thank you for your support of this Helping Hands initiative!
