KeyBank Employees Lend a Helping Hand to Habitat for Humanity

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 Habitat for Humanity of Montgomery County, who benefited from the extra sets of hands that helped them with their day-to-day tasks.

Key volunteers loaded and unloaded donations for Habitat’s ReStore, in addition to cleaning and refreshing items on the shop’s floor. The ReStore is Habitat for Humanity’s discount home improvement store whose profits go directly to building and repairing homes in Montgomery County.

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.
