Through song, reading, games and book donations, the bank that bills itself as the leader in personal banking will demonstrate that it is also a model for caring for others in the community.
"Our members are dedicated to volunteering their time to these children for the entire holiday season and during other particularly poignant occasions during the year when it is important for the young people to know that they are remembered and important," said Anthea Cox, Vice President of Human Resources and Training.
Over the Thanksgiving holiday, the Book Club will visit the Elizabeth Estates Children's Home, Children's Emergency Hostel and Bilney Lane Children's Home.
"The Bank is commited to investing in communities and we realize that every community begins with the children," said Cox. "The value added to the lives of these children via purposeful time spent with them is priceless. While we know we help promote literacy, the deeper meaning of the work we do with the book club is improving the quality of life for these children."
