Community Involvement
We work together to make a difference in the community.
We truly care about our communities. That’s why Community Involvement is one
of our core values. We generously give our time and resources to important
causes that make our communities a great place to live and work.
Actions speak louder than words.
Our staff is active in the community. From their personal volunteer efforts
with local organizations and events, to their support of civic initiatives
on behalf of the bank … we’re a busy bunch of bankers!
We give generously with our resources.
Each year, we donate significant dollars and hours to important causes in
the community. This is one of the ways your relationship matters. When you
bank with us, you know your dollars stay local and are put to good use in
the community.
Check out some examples of our Community Involvement.
Sometimes we forget to take pictures, so this isn’t a comprehensive album!
We hope to see you participating in various community events around town!

Proud Supporter of National Night Out

Catholic Church for their Faith Formation students to enjoy.
