BROOKINGS – Great Western Bank selected the Brookings Backpack Project to receive funding under its Making Life Great grants program, which targets innovative programs that enhance the quality of life within the communities in which Great Western Bank serves.
The Brookings Backpack Project assists children and youth in Brookings County, who may not have enough food to eat at home by providing them with easy-to-prepare weekend meals and snacks throughout the year. By helping to sustain these children, the Brookings Backpack Project seeks not only to help meet their nutritional needs but also to promote their physical, cognitive and social development, and to enhance their overall sense of well-being.
“Now more than ever, we need to be committed and find ways to be relevant in the communities we serve,” said Mark Borrecco, president and chief executive officer.
In fiscal year 2019, Great Western Bank donated more than $2.5 million in total donations and sponsorships to community groups across its nine-state footprint.
