Community asked to help with 22nd Annual
Thanksgiving Food Drive
This year will be the 22nd year that The First National Bank in Trinidad has sponsored an annual Thanksgiving Food Drive in Trinidad. Over the years, countless families have received a Thanksgiving surprise on the Sunday before Thanksgiving when volunteers delivered gift certificates for groceries and dining out at local restaurants. “The Bank will be collecting cash donations and distributing grocery gift cards to families in need this year.” says First National Bank in Trinidad event coordinator, Jordyn Guzzo.
SAFE TRICK-OR-TREATS AND COSTUME CONTEST
The beloved annual Safe Trick-or-Treats and Costume Contest is downtown again this year, according to the event coordinator Jordyn Guzzo with The First National Bank in Trinidad. As usual, the Bank is working with the City of Trinidad and Trinidad Police Department to have portions of Main and Commercial Streets closed to traffic during the event to ensure the safety of the trick-or-treaters.
Grace Christian School student volunteers have been out canvassing area businesses to solicit participation in this year’s Safe Trick-or-Treats for Kids and Costume Contest that will take place on Friday, October 31st from 3 to 5 p.m.

Three Counties - Nineteen Schools – Over $18,430 in Cash Support Donated
The school support drive recently held by The First National Bank in Trinidad and its branch locations was, once again, an overwhelming success! The twenty-fifth annual donation drive brought in a total of $15,430 in cash donations, and $3,000 was matched by First National. The $18,430 was distributed to nineteen schools in Las Animas, Huerfano and Colfax Counties. The school list included Holy Trinity Academy, Grace Christian, Hoehne, Primero, Kim, Branson, Aguilar, Fisher’s Peak Elementary, G.O.A.L. Academy in Trinidad, Trinidad Middle School and Trinidad High School, Peakview School, Walsenburg High School, G.O.A.L. Academy in Walsenburg, LaVeta School District, Gardner Charter School, Longfellow Elementary, Raton Intermediate School and Raton High School. Each school received a percentage of the donations in their corresponding counties based upon enrollment numbers; the schools will then provide assistance to the students who have a need.
