Consolidated employees want to extend a sincere THANK YOU to everyone who played a part in making our 2021 School Supply Drive a success! Area schools began this school-year inside of the classrooms, and because of many generous people and businesses, students have the supplies they need to be successful. Thirty schools and agencies benefited from this year’s drive. Supplies were delivered prior to schools starting by staff members of Consolidated and Gate City Bank, and local Consolidated technicians in the communities we serve. A huge thank you from us for supporting our youth.
