Community Spirit and Corporate Citizenship
Give yourself some credit...! When you bank with First National, you help us support community groups and events, a commitment that's grown to over $1 million over the years. For every home, car or business loan along with every checking account, First National customers can take credit for their part in making it happen.
Making wise investments here at home, where they do the most good - that's the power of local banking.
The First National Bank Employee Service Club
The Employee Service Club brings First National staff interested in community service together to make a difference in the community. The service club is an excellent illustration of “The power of local banking” at work. Employee Service Club members participate collectively and individually to further local community service organizations, events and causes by providing human and financial resources as well as awareness.
