Columbia Bank campaign creates Warm Hearts

Every year through Columbia Bank’s Warm Hearts campaign, the bank's branches raise money to donate to their local shelters. With the help of generous clients, Sandpoint branch manager Luke Hedquist said the two local branches in Sandpoint and Ponderay raised a total of $7,407.16, with the Ponderay office raising $5,581.37 and Sandpoint bringing in $1,825.79. "This is the most we’ve raised since the start of this campaign in 2015," Hedquist said. "Thanks to our clients and our local community for putting together a tremendous effort for the Bonner Homeless Transitions Center."
