Bank Buddy

Written by: Kate Snyder, Development and Donor Communications Coordinator

Back in July, I blogged about a terrific urban gardening project being organized by Allegheny Valley Bank. Well, they're back (although minus the gardening shears this time)! Our friends at AVB are once again partnering with EECM, this time for our Have a Heart for Hunger campaign.

These guys are terrific. They are hosting a six-week long food drive at all six of their Pittsburgh branches, collecting non-perishable food items for our Food Pantry.

It's particularly great to see the company-wide support of this project. Pictured in the snapshot below you'll see Andrew W. Hasley, President & CEO of Allegheny Valley Bank, and Gregory J. Saxon, Chairman of the Board. Both donated personally to the drive and were big promoters of the effort.

So far, the employees and patrons of AVB have collected well over a hundred pounds of food and $237 in cash donations. Thank You!!
