KeyBank Employees Volunteer Across Montgomery County

On May 24, KeyBank employees rolled up their sleeves and participated in Key’s 27th annual Neighbors Make the Difference Day, spending the afternoon volunteering at nonprofits in Montgomery County. Spring-Ford Counseling Services and the Spring Valley YMCA both benefited from the extra sets of hands that helped them with their day-to-day tasks.

Spring-Ford Counseling Services: KeyBank employees helped Spring-Ford Counseling Services beautify its office, providing a fresh coat of paint in a number of its counseling rooms. This nonprofit has addressed the emotional and educational needs of individuals from Royersford and its surrounding communities since its establishment in 1994.

Spring Valley YMCA: Key employees helped the Spring Valley YMCA welcome spring by tending to its grounds, which included weeding, spreading mulch and planting flowers. By offering volunteer opportunities such as these, the YMCA can dedicate more of its resources towards its organizational goals, including youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.

During KeyBank’s Neighbors Make the Difference Day on May 24, approximately 200 employees volunteered at 26 community organizations across Eastern Pennsylvania. These employees joined nearly 7,000 Key employees across 15 states from Maine to Alaska to provide 28,000 volunteer hours to 900 service projects in the communities the bank serves. Neighbors Make the Difference Day was started more than 25 years ago by a group of employees in Alaska. Two years later, the idea swept across a number of communities that KeyBank serves and became an official day of employee volunteerism, now the hallmark of the bank’s commitment to its neighborhoods.
