🥣 347 pounds of mac & cheese. One incredible community.

Thanks to the generosity of our employees and customers, Citizens First Bank proudly donated 347 pounds of macaroni to WAFER Food Pantry.

Every donation helps make a difference. WAFER is the largest food pantry serving La Crosse County, providing food assistance to more than 1,500 families each month. In 2025 alone, WAFER distributed approximately 1.8 million pounds of food, helping provide more than 1.2 million meals to our neighbors in need.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this year's food drive. Your generosity will help fill shelves, provide meals, and support families throughout our community. 🧡
