This week, North Shore Bank announced a partnership with Children’s Wisconsin as part of our Bank on Kindness community goodwill initiative. Through Tuesday, November 22, members of the public can donate to provide books for patients cared for at two Children’s Wisconsin hospitals, as well as its school-based mental health programs, through a community-focused website we’ve created.

The books will help families with children in the neonatal intensive care units at Children’s Milwaukee and Fox Valley hospitals, providing patient families with the opportunity to read out loud to their babies. The funds will also support patients through Children’s Child Life and Creative Arts Therapies, as well as school-based mental and behavioral health programs.

The Bank on Kindness online donation portal makes it easy for the public to donate, and North Shore Bank will match all donations up to $5,000. To participate, members of the public can visit the website or text “Kindness” to 62641.
