Together, we can ensure that our neighbors are cared for. Let’s unite in the spirit of the Holidays and make a difference,” shared Brook Merritt.

This year, the bank is also reviving its Angel Tree Program, which provides gifts for deserving youth in Star Valley. Applications for children in need can be submitted at any branch until Saturday, November 30. All recipient names will remain confidential.
Gift distribution will take place on Saturday, December 21, from 9 to 11 a.m. at the Lincoln County Fairgrounds. Gifts must be picked up in person to ensure that each child receives their special present directly.
Starting the week of November 25, you can visit www.bosv.com to adopt an angel. Each angel will include details about the child’s age, gender, and a suggested gift idea. Please return your gifts by December 18 to ensure timely delivery for Christmas.
Star Valley Middle School is partnering with the bank to hold a toy and blanket drive. These items will also be donated to the Angel Tree Program.
For more information about the Feed the Angels Food Drive or the Angel Tree Program, please contact Brook Merritt or Anji Taylor at 307-885-0000.
Let’s come together to feed the angels of Star Valley and bring joy to local youth this holiday season.
