Black Hills Community Bank participates in Rapid City MEALS program for seniors

RAPID CITY, S.D. - Aug. 21, 2013 - PRLog -- RAPID CITY, S.D. – For homebound seniors, getting the nutrition they need is often difficult. That’s why Western South Dakota Senior Services extended its MEALS program to seniors who cannot leave their homes.

The MEALS program provides hot, nutritious meals on weekdays in Rapid City and in 15 other communities throughout western South Dakota. Participants ages 60 and older may enjoy their meals in a congregate dining room with friends and neighbors. WSDSS also provides nutrition information, socialization, companionship and other supportive services for seniors.

“Volunteers are essential to this program for delivering meals to homebound seniors. That’s where Black Hills Community Bank knew we could make a difference,” said Black Hills Community Bank president Jack Lynass.

Black Hills Community Bank strongly values giving back to the community by providing funding to organizations which need support – and also by providing volunteer work to organizations like the MEALS program.

“There’s nothing better than seeing the smiles on people’s faces as you hand them a hot meal,” said Lynass. “By donating our time, we’re investing in what counts – giving back to the people around us and investing in the greater good.”

Black Hills Community Bank is known among financial institutions in the Black Hills for being community-oriented, always striving to leave a legacy of kindness and goodwill.

“It’s about more than business,” explained Lynass. “It’s about making an investment in the place we call home.”
