First Bank Racks Up Big Haul for St. Patrick Center

With First Bank employees leading the way at the Hazelwood Operations Center (600 James S. McDonnell Blvd.) and Creve Coeur office (11901 Olive Blvd), the St. Patrick Center’s “Suited for Success” clothing drive was a big success for the non-profit organization.

“We can’t thank our employees enough for their donations,” said Joe Ambrose, First Bank Midwest Regional President and President of the Board of Directors for the St. Patrick Center. “The St. Patrick’s Center workers were in awe of all the donations and sent many thanks. The collection was a big success.”

Because of the overwhelming donations of gently used business suits, casual clothing, shoes and other items, additional racks were brought to the First Bank Operations Center in Hazelwood to hold all the attire. The First Bank employee drive was held March 3-26.
