FNB Bank has joined forces to support Homes and Hope for Kentucky Inc. (HHK) with a $10,000 donation to help go toward rebuilding homes for tornado victims in Mayfield-Graves County.  HHK, operating under the non-profit Mayfield Rotary Foundation, has set a goal to build new homes for 100 Mayfield residents who lost everything from an historic category F4 tornado that decimated the city on December 10^th, 2021.

HHK is partnering with Mennonite Disaster Service, a faith-based initiative headquartered in Pennsylvania that has been repairing and rebuilding homes in disaster zones for more than 70 years.  All labor has been donated by Mennonite Disaster Service, but tax-deductible donations are still needed to reach the goal of 100 new homes for families in need.  It costs approximately $80,000 to build each home and there are currently 25-30 families working on applications for a new home, with five of those recently receiving approval.  On January 28^th, HHK will have a groundbreaking for the first new home being built in Mayfield through the program.  In addition, FNB and other Federal Home Loan member banks will be processing the loans for the new homes.

“We are proud to support Homes and Hope for Kentucky,†stated Sally Hopkins, FNB President and CEO.  “The program’s name says it all and we are happy to donate to the rebuilding efforts that will provide so many deserving citizens with new homes and restored hope.  FNB is happy to be one of the bank’s processing the loans for the program that will make such a difference in our community as we rebuild together.â€

FNB Bank, Inc. (FNB) is proud to help the Paducah Symphony Orchestra (PSO) raise funds for their new PSO Music Academy with a $15,000 investment.  As part of the investment, FNB will be naming the conference room in the Music Academy on the new PSO campus, located in the Walter C. Jetton School building.  The new Music Academy will serve the youth of Paducah, McCracken County, and the surrounding region by providing accessible, affordable private instruction.

“On behalf of the Paducah Symphony Orchestra Board of Directors and staff we are very grateful for this support from FNB Bank,” stated Bob Turok, President of the PSO Board. “The community support that non-profit organizations like ours receive is vital to our existence. FNB Bank is a valued community partner, and we can’t thank you enough for your sponsorship of the Green Room in the new Paducah Symphony Orchestra Academy.” Turok also serves as Vice President and Business Banking Officer for FNB.

The investment in the PSO’s Music Academy will allow for more local opportunities for students to get high-quality instruction outside of their school classroom.  Many students must travel out of town for additional instruction, which is typically not conducive for local families due to time and cost constraints.  The PSO Music Academy will help close a gap on the distance for quality music education and provide continuing education opportunities, as the PSO plans to offer future summer workshops to keep local students engaged.

The PSO Music Academy is one piece to the overall fundraising campaign, with an overall goal of raising $600,000 by the end of 2022.  Money raised for the campaign will not be used to operate the symphony and will be handled in a separate account designated solely for the Music Academy.  Donations are still needed to reach the goal.  Other interested investors are encouraged to call Reece King or Morgan Walker at (270) 444-0065.

FNB Bank is proud to announce that they have donated over $23,000 back to Mayfield, Graves County and Trigg County Schools through their Spirit Debit Card Program. These donations to the school systems are a result of FNB’s 3rd quarter 2021 Spirit Debit Card Reward Program.

“We are proud to offer our exclusive FNB Spirit Debit Card Program to our local schools,” stated Brooke Wiles, FNB Marketing Director.  “Our customers have pride in knowing that they are making a difference in the lives of our youth by simply swiping their Spirit Debit Cards at the checkout.  The donated funds allow the school systems the opportunity to do more for their students and staff, which is an invaluable asset to our community.”

The FNB Spirit Debit Card Rewards Program allows FNB and their customers the opportunity to give back to their local schools when they use their FNB debit card.  FNB currently offers Spirit Debit Cards for Mayfield, Graves County and Trigg County Schools.  The Spirit Card works like a traditional debit card and for each signature-based transaction (not using your PIN), FNB donates $0.10 to the corresponding school.  The tracking process is hassle free for the card holder, as FNB does all the tracking and submits the check to each school on a quarterly basis.  The donated funds are utilized at the school’s discretion.

In 2020, FNB donated over $79,000 to their participating schools through the Spirit Debit Card Program.  To learn more about the Spirit Debit Card Program, stop by your nearest FNB Office or visit www.GrowWithFNB.com.
