The New Jersey Bankers Association (NJBankers) recognized 11 banks for their efforts in serving New Jersey residents and making a positive impact in their communities during their Banking on the Future Conference on Sept. 30.
From charitable endeavors to volunteer programs, NJBankers Community Service Awards celebrate banks’ dedication and commitment to social responsibility.
“The impact New Jersey banks have on our state’s economic well-being is immense. They support their neighbors in many ways – from volunteering at food banks to providing financial literacy classes to sponsoring vital programs and events, and so much more. Banks reinforce a culture of giving back that is unique to our industry,” said NJBankers President and CEO Michael Affuso.
“This year’s recipients, in 2024 alone, donated over $13 million and more than 34,400 volunteer hours to make New Jersey communities stronger.”
