FNB has announced that the bank presented a $65,000 check from funds donated to the general FNB Disaster Recovery Fund to the Mayfield Graves Tornado Relief Fund organization. The Mayfield Graves Tornado Relief Fund is a 501-C3 non-profit organization dedicated to the post-tornado recovery efforts in Mayfield and Graves County.
Bank President and CEO Sally Hopkins said FNB is thankful for the many generous donations that were contributed to the bank’s Disaster Recovery fund following the tornado that left their community devastated. She added that after much consideration, they feel that the Mayfield Graves Tornado Relief Fund and those who are involved within the organization know the needs of the community best and will utilize the $65,000 to maximize the positive impact on those in need in their community.
According to FNB officials, the Mayfield Graves Tornado Relief Fund board members include Mayfield Mayor Kathy O’Nan, Graves County Sheriff Jon Hayden, Graves County Judge-Executive Jesse Perry, Retired Judge Tim Stark, and others heavily involved with the recovery efforts in Mayfield-Graves County. The funds are currently being used to provide up to a $1,000 allowance for those who need vehicle repairs or a new vehicle due to tornado damage. They are also using funds to build numerous houses for tornado victims through the Homes and Hope for Kentucky organization.
FNB Bank, founded in 1875, currently has nine locations located in Graves, McCracken, Calloway, and Trigg County as well as another office opening soon in Marshall County in Benton.
