Shared Table and Love Thy Neighbor win awards!

As part of their 40th Anniversary Celebration, Centinel Bank donated a total of $14,000 in Community Investment Awards to Shared Table in El Prado and Love Thy Neighbor from Questa. Originally, the bank had announced that a $10,000 award would be given, and accepted over 100 nominations. Shared Table won that award and accepted the ceremonial 4 foot long check at the 40th Anniversary Celebration party on March 27 at the main lobby. The bank then shocked the standing room only crowd by announcing a second award in the amount of $4000 to Love Thy Neighbor. The award selection panel, comprised of bank staff and directors as well as bank customers, were so impressed with the number and quality of the nominations, they felt compelled to create a second award.

Combined, Shared Table and Love Thy Neighbor provide over 10,000 meals and services in Taos County each year. The funds awarded by Centinel Bank will have an immediate, direct impact on both organization's operations and allow them to continue with their efforts to serve our friends and neighbors in need.

Additionally, Centinel Bank has set up accounts in the names of Shared Table and Love Thy Neighbor, so that anyone can contribute directly to the fine work these organizations do.

"Centinel Bank is grateful for the Taos Community’s support over 40 years and is proud to make this donation as part of our anniversary celebration. Thank you Taos County and congratulations Shared Table and Love Thy Neighbor. Let’s continue dreaming together."
