Providing school supplies to local students - 2022
Although we are in full summer mode, Prevail Bank is ready to start our annual Back to School Supply Drive. In support of those families who are financially challenged, we are collaborating with local organizations, collecting backpacks, school supplies, non-perishable food items, and/or monetary donations for students in need.
Please stop by your local Prevail Bank location to find out how you can help!

Eau Claire Area School District. Not applicable
Because our branch location in Eau Claire is being remodeled, we’ve opted not to organize a supply drive, but rather we will donate funds to the Eau Claire Public School Foundation, the week of Aug 1, so the We Care Eau Claire organization may purchase the supplies and backpacks needed for those families/children in need.
