Trees for Veterans: With Gratitude from Eagle Bank and Trust

ST. LOUIS - Nov. 17, 2014 - PRLog -- ST. LOUIS, MO.,  – In an effort to give back to those who serve or have served in the armed forces, Eagle Bank and Trust Company of Missouri is teaming up with H.E.R.O.E.S. Care to give 400 Christmas trees to active military and veteran families this holiday season.

Those who register to receive a free ‘Trees for Veterans’ Christmas tree on the Eagle Bank web site (http://www.ebtreesforvets.com/) will be able to pick it up at the Eagle Bank location in Brentwood or Arnold between 1:00 pm and 4:30 pm Sunday December 7, 2014.

“We are very excited to work with an organization like H.E.R.O.E.S. Care which provides essential amenities to service men and women and their families. We hope the Trees for Veterans program can bring some comfort and holiday cheer to those who have bravely served our country,” said Mike Walsh, Eagle Bank and Trust President and CEO.

Other sponsors of the Trees for Veterans program include Weber’s Front Row in Arnold, the Onder Law Firm in Brentwood and the Jim Butler Auto Group.

Members of the community are also invited to visit any Eagle Bank location through December 7 to make a donation to H.E.R.O.E.S. Care. This St. Louis-based organization is a collaboration of non-government organizations and thousands of trained caregivers and mental health care service providers working together to help post 9/11 military personnel and their families through pre-deployment, deployment, family reintegration and post-deployment.

“We cannot do what we do without the support of those willing to stand with us in our mission. Our thanks to Eagle Bank, their family of customers, and the wonderful sponsors making this great goodness possible,” said Jon Jerome, H.E.R.O.E.S Care president and CEO.

We also invite you to stop by any Eagle Bank branch (http://www.eaglebankandtrust.com/index.cfm/branch-locations) to write a Well Wishes for 2015 note to our Veterans. Or you may send the note to banker@eaglebankandtrust.com and we will deliver it to military service members overseas during the holiday season.
