First Citizens Community Bank (FCCB) Supports Neighbors Near and Far Affected by Hurricane Ida

09/13/2021

Mansfield, PA – For nearly 150 years, First Citizens Community Bank (FCCB) has focused on building better communities, and when tragedy strikes, the FCCB Team comes together to volunteer time and funds to rebuild.  So, when the powerful Hurricane Ida made landfall in Louisiana and caused major flooding throughout Pennsylvania, their desire to aid the relief work did not come as a surprise.

To start, FCCB is accepting donations through October 4th and will match all funds up to $10,000. A portion of these funds will be donated to 3 areas in their markets that were impacted by Hurricane Ida. These include:

  • The Garage, located in Kennett Square and West Grove, PA, is raising funds to support residents of the Avondale Apartments who were displaced due to severe flooding.
  • REACH Riverside in Wilmington, DE, who are collecting donations for the large percentage of the Riverside Community whose homes and personal possessions have been destroyed by flooding.
  • The Hillside SPCA in Schuylkill County, PA, was badly damaged when a large tree fell on the building.

All remaining funds raised and matched by the Bank will be donated to the American Red Cross Hurricane Ida fund. Donations can be made at any of the Bank’s 30 offices between September 13, 2021, and October 4, 2021. For location details, hours, and directions please visit their website at MyFCCB.com. If preferred, donations can be made payable to the FCCB Disaster Relief Fund, c/o FCCB, South Main Street, Mansfield, PA 16933.

Additionally, each month employees of the bank participate in a “Casual for A Cause” event where they trade business attire for blue jeans and make a monetary donation to a cause. The special “Hurricane Ida” dress-down day will take place on Wednesday, September 29th in all FCCB Offices.

“Part of our journey as a Community Bank is supporting our neighbors near and far,” said Bank CEO & President Randall E. Black. “With our generous employees and kind-hearted community partners, we can help make a difference in the lives of those affected by the devastating hurricane.”
