The holiday season often means spending extra time with family and friends and enjoying delicious meals with loved ones. It’s also the perfect time to focus on gratitude and giving. Community Bank N.A. branches are getting in the festive spirit by giving back to the communities they serve to ensure all families have a happy holiday season.

In total, more than 70 Community Bank N.A. branches are celebrating the holidays by lending a hand to their neighbors. Each branch team selected a local cause to support based on its community’s needs. From hosting food, clothing and toy drives to fundraising initiatives, Community Bank N.A. branches want to make the world a brighter place this holiday season.

Locally, the Lansford branch hosted a food drive for Lansford Food Pantry in November. Community members donated canned and dry food items to help the pantry during its busiest time.

“Giving back to our communities during the holidays is our favorite tradition,” Community Bank N.A. Branch Manager John Greybosh said. “The true spirit of the holidays comes from helping those in need. The Lansford Food Pantry is extremely busy during the holiday season, which can leave them short on food. We’re hopeful that our drive will help them keep their shelves stocked.”
