Baylake Bank Provides Double Benefit with Market Animal Purchase & Donations

September 15, 2010 - Baylake Bank purchased a hog from Jacob Kaczor at the Waupaca County Fair, and then donated the meat to the Weymont Food Pantry.

Baylake Bank also purchased a 239 pound pig from Brett Kasuboski, at the Waushara County Fair Livestock Auction, and then donated the meat to the Poy Sippi Food Pantry. The purpose of the Livestock Auction Project is to instill responsibility, pride of ownership, and management skills in youth, who often use the proceeds from the sale of their animals for educational purposes or to invest in additional animals.

“Donating the meat to the food pantries made the meat purchase even more rewarding. It is gratifying to know that our purchase not only helped the kids who worked so hard to raise and show their animals, it also helps local families in need,” said Nikki Schroeder, Baylake Bank Financial Center Manager.

Baylake Bank serves its Wisconsin communities from financial centers in Brown, Door, Green Lake, Kewaunee, Manitowoc, Outagamie, Waupaca, and Waushara counties and from its website at www.baylake.com. For more information call (920) 743-5551 or 1-800-267-3610.
