At GSB, we pride ourselves on being a community bank. Right now, the local businesses in our community are hurting. Our GSB employees have made the choice to support their local businesses in this time of COVID-19. Our colleauge Dave, shared that his family has committed to ordering take out from local restaurants twice a week and to try restaurants they've never been to before. We masked up and packed ourselves into the car for a family trip and were extremely excited to find a new place to get take out from. "The [Brother Mike's in Madison's] food was absolutely delicious." #InThisTogether
