We're celebrating 200 years by giving back!

This year marks our 200th anniversary, and to celebrate, we’re investing in the communities that have supported us since we were founded in 1825. In each of towns where we have a branch, we’re donating $1,825 to a local organization, for a total donation of $87,600 across our communities.

Our customers voted, and more than 10,000 votes were tallied. We are thrilled to announce the following 48 organizations will receive $1,825 each!
