First Metro Bank hosts FAME Girls’ Ranch donation drive

First Metro Bank recently launched its annual donation drive to benefit FAME Girls’ Ranch. First Metro Bank locations in Tuscumbia, Muscle Shoals and Russellville will accept donations until April 8.

Needed items for the ranch include laundry detergent/pods, general cleaning supplies, paper supplies (toilet paper/paper towels), hand sanitizer, aloe, sunscreen, soap, allergy medicine, shampoo/conditioner, body wash and gray full-size sheet sets. Monetary donations will also be accepted at any First Metro Bank location.

FAME Girls’ Ranch is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that serves Colbert, Franklin, Lauderdale and Lawrence counties as part of the Alabama Sheriffs Youth Ranches program. The ranch occupies the former home of the Rick Hall family in Russellville.

The mission of the ranch is to provide a family-style residential home for abandoned and abused youths in an atmosphere where they can grow spiritually and physically into productive, responsible and happy adults.
