Completing its sixth year, the Planters Bank Season of Giving is a bank tradition that has a goal of bringing awareness to each non-profit agency’s mission at the same time as fundraising for the organizations. “As a community bank, it is our responsibility to give back to our community. The Season of Giving is a great way for our employees, our communities, and our non-profits to all come together for these great causes,” says Planters Bank CEO Elizabeth McCoy.
Before the Season of Giving kicks off, Planters Bank purchases items from local makers. Those items are then sold in each branch to support the branch’s featured non-profit, with 100% of that purchase price donated to support the non-profits. Throughout the Season of Giving (annually September through December) Planters Bank features a different non-profit each week on the bank’s Facebook and Twitter. The community’s engagement with those posts helps each non-profit earn even more donations.
Season of Giving began as a fun way to bring attention to organizations Planters Bank supports and has grown into a program the bank and its employees look forward to each year. Planters Bank would like to thank the community for its generosity in helping support local organizations year after year.
