American Momentum Bank hosts holiday toy drives at local banking centers

American Momentum Bank spent the holiday season spreading cheer in the local community. The bank hosted toy drives at its Midland, Odessa and Crane banking centers to support 3:11 Ministries and the First United Methodist Church of Crane Community Food Pantry.

The Midland and Odessa banking centers held a toy drive from December 6 through December 13. The drive supported 3:11 Ministries’ Christmas program, which provided toys to 1,365 children this holiday season. Bank associates, partners and clients donated more than 100 toys at the bank’s Midland and Odessa banking centers. The toys were packed in toy sacks and given to families before Christmas.

“Giving back to residents in our area is an important part of our mission as a community bank,” said Jarod Thomas, West Texas President of American Momentum Bank. “More than that, it’s something that our team looks forward to each year. We’re proud of our associates for hosting these holiday drives and thankful to our banking clients for their generosity.”

The Crane banking center’s toy drive supported the First United Methodist Church of Crane Community Food Pantry. The bank donated 200 toys to the church, which fulfilled the need for the drive. This is the sixth year the bank has supported the church.

“Giving back to the less fortunate is a wonderful feeling, and extra special during the holiday season,” said Laura M. Sanchez, banking center manager for American Momentum Bank’s Crane location. “It’s nice to know that we are able to help keep the Christmas spirit alive in local children and support their parents as they look to provide a magical Christmas for their family.”
