KeyBank employees to participate

in community service project

    More than half of the employees of KeyCorp nationwide will participate in the company’s 23rd annual day of volunteer community service on Wednesday, May 22. Key staff will spend the afternoon volunteering for a wide array of community service projects in neighborhoods across the nation. Two-thirds of branches will be closed for the event, but customers may still use local ATMs, online banking and mobile access.

    In Maine, more than 250 KeyBank employees will leave their desks and head out to more than 50 projects across the state.
    “We believe it’s our responsibility to give back to communities throughout the state,” noted Sterling Kozlowski, president, New England district, KeyBank. “That’s why so many of our employees are going to be out in local communities helping our neighbors. This is the 23rd year we’ve done this; it’s an important element of our philanthropic investment, which is also demonstrated through our financial education opportunities and workforce development programs. We are dedicated to making Maine a better place to live.”
    While many of KeyBank’s branches in Maine will close at noon, certain locations will remain open. As always, customers will have access to ATMs. For more information, call 800-Key2YOU.
    Neighbors Day began in Alaska in 1991, when a group of employees volunteered for an array of service projects in their communities. The idea swept across the bank, where this year employees will donate an expected 30,000 hours, worth approximately $900,000.
    Over the 22-year history of Neighbors Day, employees have given more than half a million volunteer hours to their communities.
    One of the leading organized corporate volunteerism efforts in America, Neighbors Make the Difference Day is the signature piece in Key’s year-round philanthropic investment in its communities. Each project is an extension of the company’s commitment to strengthening the quality of life in the communities where its employees live and work.
    The following Aroostook County KeyBank branches will remain open: Caribou drive-up, Fort Kent drive-up, Houlton lobby and drive-up, and Presque Isle North St. drive-up.
