3 min read At Bank Midwest, Doing Good Week of Caring is all about coming together to make a meaningful impact. Every year in September, our associates roll up their sleeves and give their time and energy to make a meaningful difference across the neighborhoods we serve. Whether it’s lending a hand at the local food bank, supporting community well-being initiatives, or fixing up homes for families in need, together, we're making a difference. Spotlight on Volunteer Activities Kansas City Kansas City Community Gardens Associates helped clean up the orchard grounds and community garden by cutting and clearing brush, removing debris, and mulching trees and flower beds. Kansas City Community Gardens (KCCG) is a nonprofit that helps people grow their own fruits and vegetables. In 2024 alone, KCCG supported more than 48,000 households with access to fresh food through gardens and orchards. Harvesters A team of 19 associates across all departments came together to support Harvesters in their mission to fight hunger across our community. Scraps KC 22 volunteers from various Bank Midwest locations came together to sort donations and help merchandise items for local teachers and children in need of school supplies. Scraps KC is a valued Bank Midwest client and a great partner in supporting education and sustainability. Raymore and Louisburg Heart & Hand Associates restocked shelves, built meal boxes, and organized the pantry. Heart & Hand serves homeless and low-income individuals in Cass County, providing essential food and services to those in need. Cameron, Savannah, and St. Joseph Second Harvest Food Bank Associates packed over 180 Campus Cupboard Bags for four local schools supporting students in need. Second Harvest serves 15 counties in NW Missouri and 3 counties in NE Kansas, making a vital difference for families. St. Joseph Animal Shelter Associates in St. Joseph donated and delivered goody bags for the first 12 adopted dogs during their visit. "Doing Good" includes our four-legged friends -- adopt, don’t shop! Lawrence Just Food of Douglas County Associates spent the afternoon assembling meal kits for local families. Additionally, our team was able to donate $1,000 to this incredible organization and longtime client. Gladstone Hope House Associates led a meaningful donation drive, supported by several business lines, including the Gladstone Banking Center. Looking Ahead Bank Midwest is grateful to our community partners and proud of our teams for their dedication. The impact of this week goes beyond the volunteer hours -- it strengthens our communities and reflects who we are as an organization. We are already looking forward to Doing Good Week of Caring 2026!
