Peoples Bank & Trust has announced Maggie Vocks as its latest Volunteer of the Quarter, honoring her dedication to community service through her work with the United Way of Christian County and the Christian County YMCA. This recognition is part of the bank’s ongoing program to commend and promote outstanding volunteer efforts that contribute to community improvement.

Maggie Vocks has served as Board Secretary for the United Way of Christian County for nearly three years. The organization provides funding to approximately 20 local groups, with its annual golf tournament in June playing a key role in raising these funds. Vocks also contributes her efforts as the Membership Director at the Christian County YMCA, a position she has held for six months after working at the YMCA for over a year. In her role, she plays an active part in committee work and fundraising efforts, including the YMCA's annual auction in November, which was a resounding success thanks to the efforts of Vocks and numerous community volunteers.

Vocks lives in Taylorville with her husband, Tyler, and their daughter, Luna. The family also cares for two energetic dogs, Apollo and Willow. Upon receiving the Volunteer of the Quarter award, Vocks expressed her gratitude, saying she’s honored to be selected and appreciates the recognition.

In recognition of her contributions, Peoples Bank & Trust has made a donation to the United Way of Christian County. Vocks’ name will also be added to a plaque displayed at the bank to commemorate her achievements.
