People’s Bank and Trust along with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago is helping Schools affected by COVID-19 by supporting remote learning.  People’s bank & Trust is providing $5,000 to Charleston, Pana, Taylorville, Altamont, North Greene, Waverly, and Ball-Chatham. Chief Financial Officer of People’s Bank and Trust, Craig Deere says that these grants are extremely important right now because of the virus.

Deere believes that this helps because of schools having to do hybrid learning and the struggles that go with having to do both in person and remote learning.

Deere says at the end of the day it’s about showing support for the Schools during this difficult time.

People’s Bank and Trust is a locally owned and managed independent community bank with ten offices including Taylorville, Pana, and Morrisonville.
