Prevail Bank Collects $3,150 in Hygiene Items to Support Local Homeless and Crisis Agencies

Prevail Bank served as an official collection site for the 88.5 FM The Family - Help for the Homeless Hygiene Drive in 2026, helping gather essential items for individuals and families in need across the region.

Across seven participating Prevail Bank branches (Eau Claire, Owen, Medford, Marshfield, Wausau, Stevens Point, and Wisconsin Rapids), hundreds of hygiene items — valued at approximately $3,150 — were collected and distributed to local crisis agencies. Donations included everyday necessities such as soap, toothpaste, shampoo, and other personal care items that are often in critical demand.

Prevail Bank sincerely thanks those community members who donated to the hygiene drive and supported neighbors in need. Community involvement and service remain central to Prevail Bank’s mission.
