Community Giving
Doing the right thing for our employees, customers, and local communities.
At Peoples Bank, we're actively engaged in strengthening, energizing, and supporting our communities. We seek ways to help our clients, team members, and local communities prosper and thrive. Annually Peoples Bank supports regional and national organizations at the local level through giving and community service campaigns.
Why we Give
Our community service and giving programs are part of what helps our team members achieve the work-life balance they desire. Giving back is an essential component of what makes us a community bank. We are dedicated to providing support to the communities where we live and work.

Community Service
Peoples Bank encourages employee volunteerism by providing regular opportunities for involvement and paid time off for eligible employees. We call this time, "Community Involvement Days." Through this program, we offer employees up to 16 paid hours annually to actively use their skills and knowledge to improve their communities. Peoples Bank employees serve hundreds of hours annually as board members and volunteers. With over 400 employees, more than half volunteered in their communities.
