Representatives from First Interstate Bank recently donated $4,500 to the Redmond Senior Center in support of its Meals on Wheels program.

“We’re very grateful,” said Jamie Christman, Redmond Senior Center meal services manager. “The financial contributions First Interstate Bank provided for this crucial community program is significant in helping feed our society’s most at-risk population. We are not a tax district nor a line item on the city budget so it’s support like this that truly makes a difference, especially with the rising cost of food.”

There is high demand for Meals on Wheels in the greater Redmond area as the Redmond Senior Center delivers roughly 150 meals a day, five days a week, reaching all three counties of Deschutes, Jefferson, and Crook.

“At First Interstate, we are committed to supporting the places we call home, and we look to partner with organizations that make our community a better place” said Randi Osbon, Redmond retail manager. “We are proud to support the Redmond Senior Center as they work to help seniors in our area.”
