Community Events

Community involvement has always been important to us. Our employees devote much time and energy supporting the community through various civic projects and events.

  • Teach Children to Save

    The Community State Bank recently brought the “Teach Children To Save” program to several area Schools. Thirty TCSB employees made their way to seven area schools: Arkoma, Bokoshe, Wister, Red Oak, Panama, Talihina and Poteau last week to deliver not only valuable skills, teaching the importance of saving money, but also to interact and spend time with students. Overall 598, 4th and 5th grade students were introduced to the program. The Community State Bank has been involved in the “Teach Children to Save” for the past 16 years. The program is presented to a different group of schools each year. We’ve learned that the best way to get financial literacy programs into schools and in front of kids is through community banks. We have a passion for educating the next generation, in hopes of producing confident adults that hopefully have learned to invest, save and spend their money wisely.
