Coastal Community Bank is November’s Food Drive Sponsor for the Good Cheer Food Bank. Their branch on Whidbey Island is located in Freeland and they take pride in being your community bank. They are a growing bank that is making a positive impact in our lives. They support local non-profits and the community through their Employee Giving Fund.
Coastal is an Everett-based bank, founded in 1997, the emphasis is on local decision making and local lending.
The Coastal Employee Giving Fund has contributed over $162,000 to local non-profits. The fund is managed by a committee of employees and they decide how the funds are used.
Since It’s inception in 2002 the Greater Everett Foundation, their Employee Giving Fund, has set the standard for employee giving in Snohomish County. Lee Pintar, founder of Coastal Community Bank, explained why the Employee Giving Fund was created. “It’s representative of the bank’s commitment to Community. We believed this is the best way to deliver charitable dollars to the communities where we do business. This is about the bank’s employees doing something together in order to make a real impact.”
Coastal Community Bank has been a supporter of the HELP Network. Their Employee Giving Fund has benefited the South Whidbey Youth Connection, Island County Readiness to Learn, Senior Services of Island County and now Good Cheer.
Mary Bell, the branch manager in Freeland explained their involvement. “We believe in giving personal service and care as well as taking special interest in what is important to the people of this island. Good Cheer gives us the opportunity to accomplish both. We admire an organization such as Good Cheer that gives selflessly every day of the year. Coastal Community Bank wants to be a part of the outstanding service Good Cheer offers to the people on Whidbey. We believe in their hope of making family life easier and taking away a little of the stress that daily events can bring. If we can do this by having a barrel in our lobby, then we feel fortunate to have that opportunity.”
If your in the neighborhood, just drop by the bank and do what you can.
Thanks and Good Cheer!
