CHEMICAL BANK ANNOUNCES CARES DAY INITIATIVE
HOLLAND, Michigan, October 5, 2015…Joel Rahn, Community Presidentof Chemical Bank, is pleased to announce that Chemical Bank is again hosting its Chemical Bank Cares Day event. Additionally, Bank of Holland employees will also be participating in Cares Day projects throughout communities across western Michigan.
Columbus Day is Monday, October 12, 2015. On this day, Chemical Bank and Bank of Holland offices across the state will be closed for Chemical Bank Cares Day so that Bank employees may volunteer in their communities on a variety of different projects. More than 2,300 bankers will partner with local organizations to work on over 230 projects ranging from helping to beautify city parks and schools, to spending time at Senior Centers, leading financial lessons in classrooms in addition to a variety of other activities.
“We are excited for another Chemical Bank Cares Day opportunity and look forward to actively supporting the communities where we live, work and play,” stated Rahn. “Chemical Bank and Northwestern Bank employees are eager to volunteer with community partners while enjoying a successful day of giving back to the communities we serve.”
The goal of Chemical Bank Cares Day is to reinforce Chemical Bank’s commitment to Michigan and the important role that our financial institution plays in communities across the state. Chemical Bank is dedicated to improving the quality of life in the communities it serves and our Cares Day Initiative is an important way to demonstrate that commitment.
In Holland and the surrounding areas, Chemical Bankers and Bank of Holland employees will be partnering with local organizations and agencies such as the Boys and Girls Club, Allegan County Animal Shelter, and Pathways MI, among others. Project examples include spending the day in the classroom at Fennville Schools and participating in a new home build with Lakeshore Habitat for Humanity. These are just a few of the many community activities that Chemical Bank will be working on across the state on this day.
While banking offices will be closed on this day, Chemical Bank’s and Bank of Holland’s ATM, Online, and Mobile banking channels will be available to serve customers with their banking needs. For your convenience, Chemical Bank and Bank of Holland Wealth Management’s offices will still be open.
