Northview Bank Donates $5,500 to Local Schools & Food Shelves Amid SNAP Benefits Gap

Finlayson, MN – Nov 3, 2025– Northview Bank has announced a $5,500 donation to local schools & food shelves across its communities in response to the suspension of SNAP food benefits for the month of November. The contribution aims to address food insecurity among families who rely on the federal assistance program.
With the possibility of SNAP benefits not being honored this month, many families face increased challenges in accessing nutritious meals. Northview Bank's donation will help provide food support to students and families affected by the temporary gap in federal assistance.
At Northview Bank, we believe that being a community bank means stepping up when our neighbors need us most,” said Tina Rabe, Internal Audit at Northview Bank. “When we learned about the temporary suspension of SNAP benefits, we knew families would be facing extra challenges. Supporting our local schools and food shelves is one way we can help ensure families have access to healthy meals and the stability they need to thrive.”
As a community bank, Northview Bank has long prioritized supporting the areas where they reside. The bank views its role as extending beyond traditional banking services to include active participation in addressing local needs and challenges.
The funds will be distributed among schools and food shelves in communities where Northview Bank maintains a presence, enabling each community to determine how best to serve their students and families. Schools may use the contributions for meal programs, food pantries, or other initiatives designed to combat hunger and ensure students have access to adequate nutrition.
This initiative reflects Northview Bank's ongoing commitment to community welfare and its recognition that strong communities require support during times of need. The bank has a history of charitable giving and community involvement, particularly in areas affecting education and family well-being.
