About Us
Community Outreach
Touching the lives of hometown people and seeing the smiles on their faces is reason enough for Parkvale employees to spearhead clothing drives, participate in awareness walks, wrap presents for the needy, collect donations and wash cars for worthy causes.
This portion of Parkvale Bank's website highlights some of the good works of the bank's seven charity teams. But, it would take much more space than this to chronicle all of the happiness they have brought to folks in the communities they serve.
Each Parkvale office belongs to one of six teams, which are determined by geographic location. The team members select a particular charitable organization to support through financial contributions and volunteerism. Parkvale Bank is proud of the dedication and enthusiasm exhibited by all of its team members who strive to make a real impact in their own neighborhoods. Click here to follow our teams' activities throughout 2008 in "The Strength of Many Faces".
