Together we can make a real difference. Help us support our community members in need by donating today.
West Shore Bank invites you to make a real difference this season! Join us in supporting our community members in need through a wide array of initiatives and efforts to support families and individuals in Benzie, Grand Traverse, Mason, Manistee, Muskegon and Oceana County.
This year, donors have the choice to pick a cause or non-profit to further help support families in various ways within each community.
West Shore Bank will match the first $1,000 raised in each county we serve to include Mason, Grand Traverse, Oceana, Manistee, Muskegon and Benzie. All donations made online $100 and over will receive a tax return donation slip from the Mason County Community Foundation.
“Making a real difference is not only part of our mission, but something we take very seriously. We can only be as successful as our local community, through the good times and bad. We have a broader sense of responsibilities beyond just taking deposits and making loans – it is trying to find ways to make a difference by giving back.” -Raymond A. Biggs, President and CEO of West Shore Bank
All donations are distributed in each County to our food pantry and non-profit partners. These include:
