SouthEast Bank’s “Thankful Thursday” Series

Sometimes the most simple actions to show gratitude or appreciation can have an lasting ripple effect throughout a community. The solidarity that stems from a smiling nod or caring gesture can empower us and help us face the difficult roads that lie ahead. That’s why we’ve launched our “#ThankfulThursday” series, where we’re highlighting the heroic efforts of our essential workers and sharing the many ways of saying “thanks”. 

Since launching the series in April at the height of the coronavirus outbreak, we have provided hot meals to medical professionals, first responders, and housekeeping and pastoral teams at a variety of locations. Not only has this been our way of saying “thank you” to essential workers, but also, a show of support to our local small business owners. 

As we work to highlight our frontline workers, we encourage everyone in our Tennessee community to come together to uplift one another. Whether it’s buying and eating local, or simply reaching out to your friends and loved ones to ask how they are doing, these small actions can go a long way in strengthening our community during these difficult times.
