"Community involvement is an important part of what we do at North Shore Bank, and we're glad to offer this opportunity for the Pulaski community to come together and help local families this holiday season."

Santa will visit the Pulaski branch from 1 to 4 p.m. on Dec. 7. Holiday treats will be served, and visitors are encouraged to bring their cameras and a donation for the food pantry.
