Congratulations to the Perryville Area CEO program!

We’re excited to share that the Perryville Area CEO program has received a $12,000 grant through The Bank of Missouri and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines Member Impact Fund! 🥳

A big thank you to The Bank of Missouri for selecting the Perryville Area CEO program as one of four Perry County organizations to receive this funding. The Bank of Missouri contributed $3,000, which was matched 3-to-1 by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines for an additional $9,000 bringing the total grant to $12,000!

We’re grateful to both organizations for this support and for choosing to invest in the youth of Perry County.
