First Community Bank of Harrison held a groundbreaking ceremony this afternoon for their new location on Highway 65 North. To celebrate and support the community, three $1,000 checks were donated to local programs by First Community during the ceremony - one to Three Wishes for Ruby, one to North Arkansas College Foundation, and one to our Harrison Schools Backpack Feeding Program.
Rebecca Williams, Harrison Schools Homeless Liaison and School Based Human Services Director, was on hand to receive the check. Each week, about 200 backpacks stuffed with food are distributed to Harrison School District students in need.
Thank you, First Community Bank, for your support of our district!
