Marion County Bank presented a check for $2,500 to the Knoxville Senior Center on Friday. Ron Zantingh, Executive Vice president says why the bank made the donation, “We are trying to get folks to come to the Senior Center following COVID which reduced the numbers at the center. Now they are trying to restart some of the interaction at the Senior Center and what they provided for our older adults in the community. We’re happy to be a part of this and we want to encourage other businesses or individuals to get involved with the ministry.”

Senior Center Volunteer Kay Bauer tells KNIA/KRLS News, “I just want to thank Marion County Bank for this donation and what it means to the Senior Center.”

Zantingh says this is part of an ongoing effort by the bank to invest in the community.
