Community Invested
Hickory Point Bank is invested in Central Illinois for the long haul. For every customer. For every community. For a strong future. They know that through charitable donations and volunteer efforts, local charities and non-profit organizations can have a positive impact on individuals in need, and improve opportunities for people in the communities we call home.
At Hickory Point Bank, investing is who they are, what they are, and why they are. HPB in Action is about colleagues shaping their neighborhoods and engaging with their neighbors through community giving and community action. They realize that with their collective efforts, we can make real change happen in the communities in which we all work and live.
Each month, Hickory Point Bank will highlight these efforts with “Community Invested,” a live segment on Byers & Co. on Newstalk WSOY 1340-AM, 103.3-FM and streaming live online at NowDecatur.com.
