Supporting great projects in our communities!
The Community Builder Campaign allows us to further our commitment to each of our communities. This year, we donated a total of $13,500 to the following four local community groups from the Hazeltons to the Lakes District based on the amount of funds deposited to Community Builder Special product at each branch.
The Hazeltons: The Salvation Army
