Marion County Bank has announced donations for their ongoing Report Card Debit Card Rewards Program. This year’s total was $76,046.92, which is split between all districts in Marion County and surrounding communities as chosen by card users. Marion County Bank launched the effort in 2007 and has donated $499,302.58 to local schools to date. The Report Card program allows debit card customers to support one of 15 local schools. With every swipe of a Marion County Bank debit card, they will make a donation to the school of the user’s choice.

Along with the donation checks, each school building in the Pella, Pella Christian, Knoxville and Melcher-Dallas school systems received a Report Card Program cake to celebrate the annual donation and show appreciation to the teachers and staff as they prepare to start the 2024-2025 school year.
