GREENVILLE — The Christmas season is almost upon us, and to help the community celebrate, the team at Apex Bank and Isaiah 117 House are partnering to present the first ever “Evergreen Gala” from November 19 through December 3 at participating Apex locations in East Tennessee.
“It is an honor to work with Gywn Southerland and her team at Isaiah 117 House once again this year and to help our community celebrate the Christmas season,” stated Tammy L. Kinser, Greene County Market President with Apex Bank. “Participating Apex Bank offices in East Tennessee will display decorated and donated trees, wreaths, and centerpieces in our lobbies that will be auctioned off to benefit our local Isaiah 117 House and their programs.”
The “Evergreen Gala” will be a silent auction running from November 19 through December 3 and is open to the public. Individuals that would like to sign up to bid on an item can do so at any of the eight locations in East Tennessee.
“Isaiah House is a blessed ministry that walks alongside DCS (Department of Children’s Services) when children are removed from their homes; they come to the Isaiah and we love on them with food, clothing, backpacks, shoes, anything they may need,” stated Gwyn Southerland, Greene County Program Coordinator for Isaiah 117 House. “We also support DCS and foster parents as well. We appreciate Greene County for walking this journey with us. YOU are helping us change lives!”
If you are a business, church, club, or organization and are interested in decorating and donating a tree, wreath, or centerpiece, please contact Tammy Kinser at tammy.kinser@apexbank.com or call 423-787-1280. You may choose the branch your donated tree or decoration is displayed in.
