BROOKFIELD, Wis. - North Shore Bank today announced that its Sister Bay and Sturgeon Bay East branches will host special visits from Santa on (Tuesday, Dec. 18/Wednesday, Dec. 19), and collect new clothing, diapers and non-perishable food items for Clothe and Feed My People through Dec. 22.

"The holidays can be a very difficult time for some Door County-area families, and we wanted to find a fun way for our employees, customers, neighbors and friends to help," said Tricia Cravillion, vice president and district manager for North Shore Bank's Northeast Wisconsin region. "Community involvement is an important part of what we do at North Shore Bank, and we're glad to offer this opportunity for the Door County community to come together and help local families this holiday season."

Santa will visit the Sister Bay branch, 944 S. Bay Shore Drive, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. on Dec. 18 and the Sturgeon Bay East branch, 225 N. Fifth Ave., from 1 to 3 p.m. on Dec. 19. Holiday treats will be served, and visitors are encouraged to bring their cameras and a donation for Clothe and Feed My People. Unwrapped items can also be dropped off at either branch during regular lobby hours.

"We encourage everyone to stop by - either to see Santa or anytime before Dec. 22 - and donate an item or two to help make the holidays brighter for local families in need," Cravillion said.
