OceanFirst Bank Continues 120-Year Tradition With CommunityFirst Day Oct. 6
OceanFirst Bank continues a 120-year-old philanthropic tradition of helping its neighbors Thursday, Oct. 6, when it will close all of its branch locations at noon for CommunityFirst Day.
The company-wide initiative will involve more than 900 bank employees, known as WaveMakers, this year.
They will volunteer over 3,600 hours on service projects that will help nonprofits who are focused on providing housing, alleviating food insecurity, supporting the military, protecting the environment, aiding our future generations, building inclusive communities, and fostering economic empowerment throughout the Bank’s footprint.
“CommunityFirst Day is a great opportunity for our employees to come together and demonstrate to our communities just how important they are to us and how important OceanFirst can be in helping those in need in the communities we serve,” said Christopher D. Maher, Chairman & CEO of OceanFirst Bank.
Service projects are organized in partnership with the OceanFirst Foundation.
