Community Bank N.A. Branches raise nearly $10,000 to support Hurricane Harvey Relief

Community Bank N.A. branches across Western and Central New York and the Finger Lakes region recently joined together to raise funds for the Red Cross to support victims of Hurricane Harvey.

During September, the 63 participating branches held “Jeans Fridays” initiatives, asking employees to donate to the cause for the option to wear jeans. Additionally, branches held fundraisers, such as bake sales, to raise money.

All together, the 63 branches raised a grand total of $9,995.

“It’s truly amazing to see the impact that can be made when small efforts come together as a team,” Community Bank N.A. Regional Manager David Sloan said. “Supporting those in need is a fundamental part of our values at Community Bank N.A., and I am extremely proud of all the branches that contributed to this effort to help strangers in need.”

Participating branches in Tioga County included Nichols and Owego.
