ATLAS & Center for Financial Education supported
January 23, 2025
Peoples Bank in Sioux Center partnered with ATLAS of Sioux Center & Center for Financial Education (CFE) for the 4th annual Christmas for a Cause held at Heritage Village, Sioux Center.
Because of the generous donations given through Christmas For A Cause, $10,000 was raised for ATLAS & CFE!
"The staff and board of directors at ATLAS and the Center for Financial Education are deeply grateful for the support of our community,” says Amy Keahi, Director of ATLAS of Sioux Center & CFE. “It was truly a joy to serve hot chocolate, connect with those enjoying the beautiful Christmas lights at Heritage Village, and celebrate the holiday season together. We had the pleasure of meeting people from our local community as well as visitors from far away, whether they were here to see family or made a special trip just to enjoy the lights.”
“We’d like to extend a special thank you to Peoples Bank for inviting us to be part of this year's celebration and for creating such a wonderful atmosphere for families to come together and experience the magic of the lights,” Keahi added. “Finally, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who stopped by and made a donation to support our ministries."
