Community Commitment

American National Bank and Peoples National Bank have invested considerable energy and financial resources in pursuit of building stronger relationships within the communities we serve since 1887.

Our primary focus is to serve low- to moderate-income individuals through educational opportunities, human service and community development programs. Our commitment to the community goes beyond dollars and cents; it is also supported by the many employees who give generously of their time and talent.

American National Bank and Peoples National Bank believe every child should have the opportunity to receive a quality education. We support scholarship programs to educational organizations that support students who require financial assistance. We offer mentoring programs for underserved youth and young adults.
