“This is what Community Action is all about; building partnerships that work together to build, support, and meet the needs of their community. Community Action Partnership of Lancaster County could not provide a lot of the great programs that we do, if it were not for businesses such as FirstCommonwealth supporting us for this campaign and throughout the year.

Additionally, donations by check will be accepted at all FirstCommonwealth community office locations, with the organization of their choosing being designated on the memo line.

“We are grateful for the work community action agencies do to serve those in need in our communities. We know our neighbors continue to face financial challenges and the agencies have been there at the front, supporting the unique needs of their residents and making resources available. This fundraiser will allow them to help more individuals and fund programmatic needs and services to help the communities where we live and work. Please join us in supporting them. Together, we can make a difference,” offered Elizabeth Saraceno, AVP and Community Engagement Manager with First Commonwealth Bank.
