Community Impact

Banking that builds brighter futures.

Shining light where it's most needed.

Our commitment to community runs deeper than banking. From championing housing equity to supporting families in crisis, we focus on initiatives that make a real difference. With every partnership, donation, and volunteer hour, we’re working to build stronger, brighter neighborhoods for everyone.



When you bank with us, you’re helping light up your community too. Every account opened, every loan closed, and every partnership built allows us to invest back into the neighborhoods we call home. Together, we’re creating brighter futures: one project, one family, one community at a time.

Investing in Stronger Communities

We believe financial institutions have the power to do more than just manage money; they can help build equity, stability, and opportunity. That’s why we partner with local nonprofits to fund initiatives that make a difference where it matters most.

Volunteering with Heart

It’s not just about writing checks; it’s about showing up.


Our team members regularly volunteer at local events, fundraisers, and service projects because we believe in neighbors helping neighbors.
