Friendly Competition, Big Community Impact
First State Food Drive Face Offs Bring Schools Together
A little friendly competition can make a big difference! This fall, First State Bank Nebraska brought local schools and communities together for three Food Drive Face Offs, turning school rivalries into opportunities to give back.
Held during local high school volleyball and football games, the Food Drive Face Offs challenged competing schools and their local First State branches to see who could collect the most donations for area food pantries. Each winning school also received a $250 donation from First State.
Together, the three events collected an impressive 2,581 food items and $2,322 in monetary donations, helping support families and individuals facing food insecurity across eastern Nebraska.
