July – September 2025 Community Recap

2025-12-01

We stayed busy this past quarter!  Keep reading to see all we’ve been up to from July to September.
When you bank with us, your deposits stay local, fueling growth right in our own neighborhoods. Every transaction helps strengthen the communities we live and work in. Our team actively supports local events, organizations, and volunteer efforts. We make decisions that prioritize you, our employees, and our community, not outside shareholders.

Emphasis on Community Education

A pillar of strength in any community lies in its commitment to future generations.  We make sure to emphasize the importance of youth education and financial literacy with our newest Partners in Education, Belpre High School and Kanawha Elementary School. We can’t wait to continue to support our local schools, students, and communities.

Importance of Local Businesses

Another community pillar is local business support.  Small, local businesses are the backbone to a strong community, and we want to support all of them to the best ability we can!  To round out an already sweet quarter, we also celebrated National Ice Cream Day with ice cream from Crown Florals & Gifts.

Community Engagement

Investments in our communities include both investments in local education and businesses, but we also like to bring our communities together through sponsoring events like the Kids Ride Free night at the Belpre Homecoming, volunteering with local organizations like Habitat for Humanity of the Mid-Ohio Valley and participating in local events like the Wetzel County Community Back to School Bash. This quarter we continued with our branch renovations and were excited to help collect donations for the Parkersburg Area Association of Realtors donation drive supporting Disabled American Veterans, as well as various animal shelters. We can bring people of all ages together to celebrate each other and our communities, while still having a blast!

These past few months have been so much fun for our team, and we can’t wait to show you what we have planned for the end of the year! Make sure you follow us on social media to stay up to date with where we’ve been and where we’re going.
