MONTE VISTA—In order to give back to its Texas neighbors after the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey, Sunflower Bank, First National 1870, and Guardian Mortgage are collecting gift cards for ongoing relief donations at all bank branches and mortgage offices across its seven state footprint. The gift card collection is in partnership with the Houston Food Bank that will be distributing the cards to those in need in southeast Texas.
“Hurricane Harvey has been devastating for our neighbors in Houston. We are using our network of locations to help collect donations to meet the needs of those affected.” said Mollie Hale Carter, CEO of Sunflower Bank and First National 1870. “People in our communities are looking for ways to make a difference and this is one small way we can connect people and give back, fostering the distribution of impactful donations.”
Gift cards are being collected until Sept. 27 at all Sunflower Bank and First National 1870 branches throughout Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, New Mexico, and Texas. Guardian Mortgage, a division of Sunflower Bank, N.A., will also be accepting donated cards at its locations in Arizona, Michigan, and Texas. Any denomination cards to national retail and food service chains will be accepted, though smaller denominations are encouraged.
