Community-driven and socially responsible, the Buckeye Community Bank team understands the importance of supporting local organizations to build a stronger and more resilient community. Led by the bank’s Employee Relations Committee, the staff gives their time and talent to efforts that directly improve the health, prosperity, and vibrancy of the community.
This past quarter, the Buckeye staff raised funds and collected non-perishable food to assist the Neighborhood Alliance’s efforts to help residents dealing with food insecurity. With its roots in Elyria, Neighborhood Alliance has long provided emergency shelter, homeless outreach, daily meals, nutrition services, and activities for residents of nearly all ages. In addition to funds and items donated by staff and generous Buckeye clients, the bank made a matching donation to contribute to the community organization and its cause.
Throughout the year, Buckeye regularly supports numerous initiatives and organizations to give back to the community and strengthen relationships. The bank has provided much-needed assistance and reinforced the bonds that make the area a place where community spirit thrives.
“One of the great benefits of being locally based and community-focused is interacting with community members every day,” Buckeye Community Bank President and CEO Ben Norton said. Neighborhood Alliance is a beacon for so many, and we are pleased to support their efforts. It’s an honor to lead a team so deeply committed to serving our community. These kinds of efforts remind us of the power of teamwork and the importance of giving back.”
The staff initiatives aim to raise both support and awareness for area organizations that Buckeye supports. In various activities throughout the year, the team hopes to encourage residents and businesses to support local causes.
