Last week, three Southside Bank team members from our Bullard in-store branch prepared food box donations for families in East Texas. They unloaded a truck and sorted items into boxes that were given out later that day.

Many working families in our area are struggling to put food on the table. St. Paul Children's Services in Tyler helps meet the needs of these families through healthy food given out at their pantry every Thursday.

Should you use cash to buy large items like a car, house, or computer? The truth is, there’s not a “correct” answer to this question. It depends on your goals and financial situation. Sometimes there are benefits to using cash, and sometimes there are benefits to using credit or a mortgage.

Our latest article addresses the potential benefits of using cash or credit on large and small purchases: southside.com/blog/post/buying-with-cash.
