Neighbors Make the Difference Day is one of KeyBank's most visible community projects

A dozen KeyBank employees put in a fun afternoon volunteering at Issaquah’s Eastside Baby Corner as part of KeyBank’s 25th Neighbors Make the Difference Day.

Neighbors Make the Difference Day is one of KeyBank’s most visible community projects and one of the largest corporate volunteer projects in America, demonstrating the bank’s commitment to helping communities thrive. More than 6,000 employees in 13 states, from Maine to Alaska, leave their bank branches at noon on this day and volunteer to help make a difference in their respective communities. In the past 25 years, Key employees have given more than half a million volunteer hours through Neighbors Day.

“This is our way of a saying ‘thank you’ to our nonprofit neighbors for the good work they do. Building a thriving community is a collective effort, and we’re excited to roll up sleeves for our neighbors,” said Issaquah branch manager Tyler Hooper.
