Every year, Umpqua Bank hosts its Warm Hearts Fundraiser, donating both funds and warm clothes collected locally to Bonner Homeless Transitions to help those in need in the community.
This year, the Ponderay and Sandpoint branches of the bank raised $17,655.09 for Bonner County Homeless Transitions, which included a $10,000 donation from Samuels Store.
"We are always amazed at the generosity of our community, and we are thrilled to be able to donate to such a wonderful organization again this year," Christie Edwards, manager of the Ponderay branch, said.
