Saving the Local Environment. Prevail Collects & Shreds Nine Tons of Paper.
Prevail Bank is a community bank that takes seriously its vision of making a lasting, meaningful, and positive impact. This year, as a result of its free community shred days held at each of its nine branches, nearly 9 tons of paper (17,887 lbs.) was collected and shredded, saving 151 trees.
“Sustainability and building a better tomorrow for our customers and the next generation are important to us,” said Nathan Quinnell, Prevail Bank President. “Working together to pursue what’s possible is what Prevail Bank does best.”
