KeyBank Employees Lend a Helping Hand to "Greener Partners"

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 Greener Partners, who benefited from the extra sets of hands that helped them with their day-to-day tasks.

KeyBank employees helped Greener Partners welcome spring by planting and tending to crops at one of its community gardens. Greener Partners works to increase and strengthen public access to fresh, season and local food. In addition to inspiring good health through good food, its staff educates people of all ages about how to grow and prepare healthy food.

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.
