First Financial Bank (Nasdaq: FFBC) will hold a food drive in the Columbus area from Oct. 6-31 to support neighbors in need. The bank will accept canned food and nonperishable boxed food in large, marked bins at its financial centers in Columbus, Edinburgh and Hope.
“Helping our neighbors is what we’re all about as we strive to create opportunities for our clients and communities to thrive,” said Roddell McCullough, chief corporate responsibility officer. “Our communities have always been supportive of our food drives, and we’re excited to get started on filling cupboards in the area once more.”
After the food drive concludes, First Financial associates will deliver all the collected items to local partner organizations for distribution into the community.
This is the fourth year First Financial has organized a food drive in support of local communities. Last year, First Financial and community members collected over 5,700 food items for residents throughout Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois, including 201 food items from Bartholomew County. More than 19,000 food items have been collected over the previous three years of First Financial Bank’s food drives.
