Chris Boland presents the grant check to NeighborWorks Green Bay.

$5,000 grant goes to NeighborWorks Green Bay
Last month, the bank announced that we will give a $5,000 grant to NeighborWorks Green Bay. The nonprofit provides people with information and financial assistance to help them buy homes.

The grant money comes from our Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago Targeted Impact Fund. Last summer, North Shore Bank gave FHLB grants to four other Miwaukee-area nonprofits. Like those organizations, NeighborWorks says it plans to use this money to help clients facing financial challenges because of COVID-19. VP community lending manager Chris Boland serves on the NeighborWorks board and recently lent a hand on some of the group’s service projects.

Candy Cane Lane breaks annual fundraising record
Candy Cane Lane in West Allis shattered its previous annual fundraising record in December, bringing in a total $207,512 for the MACC Fund, which fights children’s cancer. The old record was just over $121,000. North Shore Bank is a sponsor of the holiday lights display, and kicked off the event with a donation that brought its total funds raised since 1985 to $3 million. Many thanks once again to the employees who put in time to help make this happen.
