The Platte Valley Bank Community Involvement Committee donated $815.79 to Goshen HELP to aid the community action organization with its food bank. The PVB committee held a bake sale to raise half of the amount, and JG Elliott Insurance and the bank opted to match the amount raised. According to Kyle Borger of Goshen HELP, the donation will pay for 3,200 meals for local families in need. Goshen HELP will use the money to procure food from the Food Bank of the Rockies. Borger said the Goshen HELP food bank feeds 300 families a month, and is open by appointment on Fridays. To contact Goshen HELP, call 307-509-0377 or visit Goshenhelp.com. The PVB committee’s February project will be a giving tree to raise money for Waggin’ Tails Animal Shelter. Participants can also donate to the shelter by placing money in buckets in the bank’s lobby. The buckets are decorated with pictures of the bank’s management. The member of the management team who collects the most money in their bucket will have to kiss a donkey.
