The Dinner Bell Feeding Ministry has been blessed with a Partnership with City National Bank since June 8, 2016. The bank not only supplies financial support on a quarterly basis, they also provide personnel to serve the meal.
The City National Bank, the oldest bank in continual service in Sulphur Springs, was chartered in 1889 and has locations in Hopkins, Wood, Rains, Van Zant, Gregg, Upshur, Cass, Morris, Camp and surrounding counties. It has close to 250 employees at 18 locations. It is the 75th largest bank in the State of Texas.
The original lot on the corner of the Sulphur Springs Square and Connally Street was purchased for $3,350. The two story building, the bank’s home until 1968, was built at a cost of $5,390 in the 1890’s. The original vault door is still in use today and is in perfect working order.
We plan to continue inside dining every Wednesday with the exception of the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, Christ mas and New Years Day.
