First Financial Bank associates and community members have donated 92 food items in the Columbus area after the completion of a two-week food drive to fight hunger.
In every community served by First Financial, associates have delivered food collected from the campaign to food pantries and other community organizations for local distribution.
“A good meal can make all the difference, and we are grateful for the enthusiastic and generous response we received to give back to the community with this year’s food drive,” said Roddell McCullough, chief corporate responsibility officer for First Financial.
In the Columbus area, items collected in the food drive were donated to the Nashville Food Pantry, Love Chapel, Blessing Box, Edinburgh Food Pantry. First Financial associates and community members collected more than 6,600 food items throughout its four states of Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois during the campaign.
The food drive continued from Nov. 6 to 17, with people encouraged to drop off nonperishable food items at their local First Financial Bank.
Earlier this year, First Financial teamed up with local residents to collect cleaning supplies that were then given to local charities and nonprofits. The First Financial Foundation also made $2.5 million in donations to local organizations in the 2022 calendar year.
