Pendleton Community Bank

In March 2020, Pendleton Community Bank (PCB) began processing Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans to mitigate the impact of the global pandemic in the communities they serve. Since the pandemic began, PCB is honored to have provided aid to 930 small businesses in retaining 4,313 local jobs.

PCB donated a total of $15,000 to three different community nonprofits. To determine the selected nonprofit organizations, the PCB team recruited help from local businesses that received PPP funding through the institution. Three businesses, drawn at random by the PCB team, were asked to select a nonprofit serving their community. PCB then made a donation to these nonprofits in honor of the three businesses and staff. The list is as follows:

  • $5,000 to Harrisonburg Downtown Renaissance
  • $5,000 to Petersburg Volunteer Fire Company
  • $5,000 to Pocahontas County Family Resource Network

The entire team at PCB has been actively involved in both the first and second rounds of PPP lending. In total, the institution has assisted in obtaining $50.4M in funding for small, local businesses.
