The HEARTland Project

The Peoples Heartland Foundation is partnering with The Peoples Bank employees to propel a materially impactful project to completion in each of The Peoples Bank’s local communities by allocating $50,000 to a project in each community. These communities include Barber County, Kingman County, Kiowa County, Osborne County, Pratt County, and Smith County for a total impact of $300,000 across local heartland communities.
