- Submitted photo Citizens Bank Minnesota ‘Jeans for Change’ recently donated $350 to the Lafayette Area Ambulance. Jeans for Change was started in March of 2017 with the idea that all bank employees can donate $5 to wear jeans on the first Friday of each month. The proceeds are then given to area non-profits. In April the money raised went towards the Stryker hydraulic-powered ambulance cot. Mark Dick, President of the Lafayette Area Ambulance, stated “The cot can support 650 pounds and be loaded by one person into the back of the ambulance.” Pictured from left to right: Mark Dick, President of the Lafayette Area Ambulance, Kevin Yager, Sheri Portner, Lori Dick, Laura Isaacson, Nick Peterson and Robert Wise of Citizens Bank Minnesota, Lafayette Branch.
