First Federal Bank, in collaboration with its customers, generously donated $9,945 on Giving Tuesday to benefit non-profit partners in our Community Rewards Program. Giving Tuesday, celebrated on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, is a global movement focused on driving positive change in communities worldwide. This donation showcases First Federal Bank's continued commitment to the local communities they serve.
Customers enroll in the established Community Rewards Program, which gives a percentage of each transaction to a selected non-profit organization. For Giving Tuesday, customers made purchases using their debit cards from November 29th to December 2nd. For every transaction during this period First Federal Bank doubled the donation.
John A. Medina, the bank’s President and CEO, expressed his enthusiasm for this day of giving, stating, "Giving is integral to the culture of First Federal Bank. Supporting non-profits in our community, alongside our customers, is a wonderful way to celebrate the holiday season."
Since launching the Community Rewards Program in 2011, First Federal Bank has donated over $630,000 to support after-school programs, intellectual and developmental disability agencies, temporary housing initiatives, sports programs, various educational programs, and more.
