Bank of America launches drive for Habitat for Humanity

The local branch of Bank of America is continuing it support for Habitat for Humanity this holiday season and is asking for the community to help out.

On Dec. 16 from 9-3, bank employees will be attempting to fill a Habitat for Humanity ReStore truck with appliances and building supplies. They will also accept cash donations to help Habitat.

"We are excited to continue a tradition of supporting the local Bonner County Habitat for Humanity," said Vivienne Smith, bank manager. Smith wanted to recognize former manager Tom Harville for keeping BofA so active with Habitat.

To kickoff the public relations portion of the "Build a Home for the Holidays," Smith and a handful of employees spent part of last weekend making gingerbread houses.

"We had the stickiest, funnest time," she said. "It's now our hope people will notice the houses in the branch and will ask us about our Dec. 16 drive."
