Before the Season of Giving kicks off, Planters Bank purchases items from local makers. Those items are then sold in each branch to support the branch’s featured non-profit, with 100% of that purchase price donated to support the non-profits.

Throughout the Season of Giving (annually September through December) Planters Bank features a different non-profit each week on the bank’s Facebook and Twitter. The community’s engagement with those posts helps each non-profit earn even more donations.

For the 2019 Season of Giving, Planters Bank purchased Cadiz-made Barkley Hills Honey Cinna-Spice Whipped Honey, which was paired with Hopkinsville-made Continental Mills’ Krusteaz Southern Cornbread and sold for $10.00/set.

Planters Bank also purchased Louisville-made Shell-Bee’s Bourbon Smoked Garlic Sea Salt and sold for $10.00/each. Helping to spread the reach of local companies is a component of the program too. Each of the products sold in-branch can be sourced locally following the Season of Giving.
