Penn Community Bank hosted its third annual Day of Service on June 5. The organization-wide event partnered bank team members with 12 nonprofit organizations from Philadelphia to the Lehigh Valley to donate over 1,000 hours of volunteer service and $100,000 in charitable contributions.
“Penn Community Bank’s Day of Service reaffirms our deep commitment to strengthening the communities we serve,” said Jeane M. Vidoni, president and CEO of Penn Community Bank. “We are proud to have hundreds of our dedicated employees volunteering their time and talents to make a positive impact across our region — from Philadelphia to the Lehigh Valley and everywhere in between. This day truly expresses our core values of service and giving back.”
“What started as just an idea three years ago has blossomed into this annual Day of Service — a core piece of who we are as an organization,” said Bernard Tynes, Penn Community Bank chief experience and impact officer. “Seeing this program grow from just a concept into a highly-anticipated annual tradition for our team members and area nonprofit is something our organization takes great pride in and motivates us to continue expanding how we can serve as a true community partner.”
Day of Service nonprofit partners included, in addition to numerous others, the following:
- United Way of Bucks County/Bucks County Opportunity Council HELP Center, Bristol: The United Way’s and BCOC’s joint efforts at the HELP (Healthy Eating and Living Partnership) Center support local families in need by providing essentials like cleaning supplies, personal hygiene items and home goods — completely free of charge — through a dignified shopping experience. Penn Community Bank team members sorted donations and helped prepare items for distribution.
- Woods Services, Langhorne: Woods Services is a nonprofit multi-service population health management and advocacy organization that provides innovative, comprehensive and integrated health, education, housing, workforce, behavioral health and case management services to more than 4,000 children and adults in the intellectual and developmental disability, child welfare, behavioral and brain trauma public health sectors who have complex and intensive medial and behavioral healthcare needs. In support, Penn Community Bank team members set up and staffed a carnival for residents.
