Spread Your Joy in “Share-idan” This Season

The people of Sheridan are kind and generous all year-round, but during the holiday season, the spirit of sharing in our community is truly something to behold. While we all enjoy spending time with family and friends, giving our time to help our community and our neighbors is a priority, too. The Bank of Sheridan is proud to sponsor and participate in the following programs at this time of the year:

This event provides a wonderful opportunity for our community to connect during the season.

Sheridan Media Christmas Wish  

This program helps people who have fallen on temporary hard times such as Illness, death in the family, sudden unemployment who would most likely just resign themselves to a small or no Christmas. You can submit a wish for someone you know or submit for your own family to be helped this holiday season through the generosity of Sheridan businesses and individuals.

Martinizing Dry Cleaning and The Salvation Army have again teamed up to collect coats for those in need. Local residents are asked to donate new or gently used jackets and coats to Martinizing Dry Cleaning, which will then clean and donate them to The Salvation Army for distribution to the community. Martinizing Dry Cleaning, located at 1360 Sugarland Drive, will collect coats through the end of November.

These are just a few great ways you can connect with your community and give back this season. We’d love to hear how you and your family spread the joy during the holidays in the comment below!
