Key Bank employees continue volunteer project

Key Bank employees continue volunteer project

KeyBank employees fanned out across Alaska as part of the 25th Neighbors Make the Difference Day on May 13, including at the Kenai Peninsula Food Bank.

Neighbors Make the Difference Day is one of KeyBank’s most visible community projects and one of the largest corporate volunteer projects in America, demonstrating the bank’s commitment to helping communities thrive. More than 6,000 employees in 13 states, from Maine to Alaska, leave their bank branches at noon on this day and volunteer to help make a difference in their respective communities. In the past 25 years, Key employees have given more than half a million volunteer hours through Neighbors Day.

KeyBank Alaska employees are especially delighted to celebrate the 25th anniversary since the cherished tradition originated here and became the model for Key’s official day of volunteer service.
