PeoplesBank in the Community

Commitment to Community

More than 120 years ago, one of the founding principles of PeoplesBank was service to the community. Though needs have changed through the years, we remain dedicated to this core value. Believing that we are only as successful as the communities in which we operate, today we've expanded upon this mission to serve the greatest number of people, in a growing number of ways.

Community Development

PeoplesBank assists organizations that provide economic opportunities for our communities' residents. Through financial support, technical assistance and leadership, our Community Development outreach fosters worthwhile community reinvestment, such as:

• The development of innovative responses to basic human needs.
• Fair housing and community services targeted to low- and moderate-income families and individuals.
• Community development initiatives that are catalysts for economically distressed areas.
• New ways to address issues of economic self-sufficiency.
• Academic achievement and success of local area youth.

Human Services

PeoplesBank is one of the largest annual contributors to the United Way. In addition to encouraging employee participation, we provide matching gifts which double their financial commitment.

Arts & Culture

We recognize the important role that the arts play in the quality of life and the economic development of our community. PeoplesBank supports organizations that provide arts and cultural activities.

Employee Outreach

PeoplesBank employees are encouraged to participate in civic, charitable, educational, and cultural organizations. We enthusiastically raise money and donate personal time to help local soup kitchens, clothing centers, promote awareness on health issues, and volunteer on boards of many local and civic charitable and cultural organizations.
