First Bank Brings Some Holiday Cheer for Local Families in Need

As part of First Bank’s Adopt-A-Family campaign, four Orange County First Bank branches adopted four families from the Orange County Child Abuse Prevention Program.

“Through our Adopt-A-Family campaign, we were able to fulfill the wishes for some at-risk children and families in Orange County,” said Susan Montoya, Senior Vice President, Corporate CRA Officer, First Bank. “The staff and volunteers at the Orange County Child Abuse Prevention Program do vital work in our community and we wanted to help brighten the holidays for their clients with some gifts and donations.”

The four First Bank branches participating were Huntington Beach (16900 Goldenwest Street), Newport Beach (4301 MacArthur Blvd.), Fullerton (1375 S. Harbor Blvd.), and Laguna Niguel (25461 Rancho Niguel Road).

In addition to numerous gifts and new items donated to the families, First Bank matched any monetary donations or gift cards raised by each branch up to $500. Combined, the four First Bank branches donated over $5,000 in gifts and monetary contributions.

The Orange County Child Abuse Prevention Center is a nonprofit directly serving at-risk children and families in crisis to prevent and break the generational cycle of child abuse.
