Community Outreach
We are committed to continuously improving our community investment and engagement. We are proud to have team members involved in diverse and varied civic and community projects that serve and improve the communities where we live and work. We believe our responsibility is not only to finance economic growth but also give back in other ways. To support these endeavors, in addition to bank-sponsored community activities and financial support, the Heritage Volunteers program lets employees take paid time off to give back through volunteerism and nonprofit board service.
