Launch Into Learning: Help Us Smash Our Goal for the 2nd Annual Community Book Drive!

Summer is in full swing, but here at Table Rock Community Bank, we are already looking ahead to the upcoming school year, and we need your help to make it the best one yet for local students.

We are thrilled to announce the return of our Launch Into Learning: Community Book Drive! Following the incredible generosity of our community last year, we are officially kicking off our second annual drive to support young readers across our region.

The Goal: 1,000 Books for Local Students

Last year, thanks to your incredible support, we collected and distributed over 400 books. This year, we’re dreaming bigger. Our goal is to collect 1,000 books between July 1st and July 31st.

To ensure these books get directly into the hands of the kids who need them most, we are partnering with over 10 local area schools. By refreshing school shelves and providing students with reading materials, we can help them start the new school year with confidence and excitement.

How You Can Participate

We’ve made it incredibly easy to give back this July. Whether you are stopping by a branch or browsing from your couch, you can make a massive difference:

  • Drop Off at Any Branch: We are accepting donations of both brand-new and gently loved books at all Table Rock Community Bank branch locations throughout the entire month of July. Just look for the "Launch Into Learning" displays in our lobbies!
  • Shop the Master Wish List: Want to buy something specific that our local educators truly need? We’ve collaborated with our partner schools to create a single, consolidated Master Wish List. You can purchase books directly online to be donated.


Thank you for leaning in, supporting our local schools, and helping us launch our community's students into a lifetime of successful learning. 

Let’s hit that 1,000-book milestone together!
