Old Plank Trail Community Bank believes in community outreach on a variety of levels and recognizes needs within the community. With this mission, Mary Ann Murphy, Senior Vice President, Old Plank Trail Community Bank, and Andrea Rudolph, New Lenox Facility Manager, Old Plank Trail Community Bank, presented the United Methodist Church with a check in the amount of $500.00 on Monday, December 1, 2014. The check was accepted by Senior Pastor Dr. Jay D. Carr and Paula R. Krohn, Treasurer of United Methodist Church.

United Methodist Church has been a solid foundation in New Lenox – surpassing its 175 years of services to the community. United Methodist Church offers assistance to its members who are in need through a variety of resources such as counseling, prayer, and faith interaction. The Church also collects donations from its members to assist these families with utility bills, food, and shelter.

To assist United Methodist Church with this mission, Old Plank Trail Community Bank offered a $500.00 donation to help this fund during these very difficult economic times. These funds will be divided between two families within the congregation this holiday season so that they will be able to have electricity, heat, water, and food. The recipients of the gift from United Methodist Church are interviewed by Pastor Carr and his staff to find the most needs within their congregation.
