Our Prairie State Bank & Trust employees in Mt. Zion are stepping up to support local students this season by collecting donations for the Mt. Zion Junior High’s Braves Closet — a wonderful program that provides clothing and essential hygiene items to students in need throughout the Mt. Zion Community Unit School District #3.
The Braves Closet helps ensure that every student has access to the everyday essentials they need to feel comfortable and confident at school. We’re proud to join this effort and invite our community to help us make a difference!
Donations can be dropped off at our Mt. Zion, Pershing, Long Creek, and Illiopolis branches through October 24th.
The Braves Closet is currently requesting the following items:
-
🧦 NEW Socks (a big need!)
-
🧴 Deodorant
-
🧼 Full-size hygiene items (shampoo, body wash, soap, toothpaste)
-
👕 Gently used clothing and shoes (larger kid sizes and all adult sizes)
Together, we can help keep our local students warm, confident, and ready to learn this school year. Thank you for joining us in supporting such a meaningful community effort!
