Traditions Bank Gives Back in 2023
During the holiday season, we are reminded of our many blessings and all we have to be thankful for. At the same time, we are also aware of the many residents in our community who need help with food, clothing, school supplies, and more.
Please consider joining us as we give back to these organizations in the communities we serve.
Benefitting York Area Children – Community Progress Council
Each year, the children enrolled in CPC’s early childhood programs receive holiday cheer through the partnership with local individuals and organizations. Please consider supporting their program through the purchase of a gift for one of their families and bringing a little joy to their homes this year. Please note the deadline to order online or drop off items is December 1, 2023. This deadline allows for wrapping and distributing during the holidays. Monetary donations are accepted as well.
