Home Bank donates to group home facility
Home Bank SB recently made a donation to central Indiana nonprofit organization The Indiana Dream Team through the bank’s community gifting program.
The Indiana Dream Team was established in 2004 by Pastor Eric Lashbrook and is a group home facility for young men. It provides a Christian-based 12-step program, classes for life skills and character-building, GED preparation, work experience, family restoration and opportunities for community outreach. The organization is based on an 82-acre property near Gosport.
Home Bank’s gift will be used to buy a 5-passenger van needed for the organization’s work programs and community service projects. Greg Hubler Chevrolet, which hosted the event, also partnered with Home Bank in securing a van to meet the nonprofit’s needs.
Home Bank’s board of directors established the gifting program in 2012 to support nonprofits in the market communities. The organization allocates a percentage of its profits each quarter for this purpose, and a committee of employees is charged with determining use of the funds.
