Williamstown Bank, Inc.

Today we presented North Star Child Advocacy Center with their single largest check of $3,030 bringing their total received through The Giving Cup to $12,535! The Giving Cup has surpassed $60,000 in total donations where ??% of every dollar received goes straight back to our local community! North Star became a beneficiary in April 2023 and uses these funds to support their critical mission of serving local child victims of abuse and their families. We are so thankful for the work the North Star team does and for the partnership we have in helping them raise not just critical funding, but also awareness of their mission and the reality of child abuse in the MOV. #WhatBankingCanBe #BankLocally #thegivingcup

Today we made a trip to TN to give RISE Erwin a check for $2,426 from donations we received during October at The Giving Cup and our other offices. Every dollar received will be used to help rebuild Erwin, TN and the surrounding areas deeply impacted by Helene. While amazing progress has been made, there’s still so much work needed. We had the opportunity to speak with some locals who shared photos of during and immediately after the flood which are shared below, along with showing us firsthand the damage and progress. The hospital you see surrounded by water and people stranded on the roof, was only two years old, and has to be completely rebuilt. The industrial area pictured is the one where unfortunately 11 people were overwhelmed by flood waters, with 5 still not yet found. The road is I-26, with one temporary lane having been reopened this week, and you can see from the church how the river carved out a new path leaving destruction in its path. We were humbled and grateful to send a little hope to Erwin from WV, and to all who gave we sincerely thank you! The appreciation from locals cannot be described. #WhatBankingCanBe #giveback #hurricanerelief

We think it’s safe to say our first Color Run at WES was a success! ?? We also presented a $750 check to Principal Cumpston from donations received at The Giving Cup! As our longest Partner in Education, we are so grateful for Williamstown Elementary and the teachers and staff who make it such a wonderful school! We hope everyone had as much fun as we did! #WhatBankingCanBe #banklocally #PartnersInEducation

We are accepting monetary donations at ALL locations through October 31 for Helene relief. We will ensure ??% of all donations go directly to a local relief effort. The needs will change as time passes, so working with local contacts in TN/NC, we will identify a specific area/organization and hand deliver money from donations received in November. We are approaching $1,000 already received and want to thank all who have donated! Every dollar counts! *If making donations in Williamstown or Parkersburg, keep your receipt and show it to one of our southside offices for your thank you drinks! #WhatBankingCanBe #banklocally #hurricanerelief
