Share the Good activities across several states to include education
and volunteer service
BIRMINGHAM, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Throughout November, Regions
Bank (NYSE:RF) associates across several states will participate in
hundreds of community service initiatives as part of Regions' fifth
annual Share the Good program.
Based on a central theme of "Feed the body, and feed the mind," Share
the Good activities range from food collections for nonprofit
organizations to financial education seminars, random acts of kindness,
and more. In 2013, Regions associates organized and participated in more
than 350 Share the Good events across the communities Regions serves.
"Our associates love Share the Good because it taps into their passion
to make life better in the communities where we live and work," said
Rick Swagler, head of External Affairs for Regions Financial
Corporation. "At Regions, we believe we can all make a difference, one
person and one community at a time. And our nonprofit partners make it a
lot easier for each of us to make a difference."
Among activities planned for 2014, Regions associates will participate
in the "World's Largest Food Drive" in Tampa, Fla. In Athens, Ala.,
associates will collect donations for the Full Tummy Project, which
fights childhood hunger by filling backpacks with food for
schoolchildren to eat on weekends when they may not have access to
nutritious meals.
Associates will also volunteer with several nonprofits, including the
Ronald McDonald House of Austin, Texas, and the House of Hope in
Kilgore, Texas. Share the Good activities will also support Junior
Achievement, Heart Walk, United Way organizations, and other programs in
several communities.
Volunteerism is encouraged among Regions associates as part of the
company's commitment to community service. Regions provides every
associate a paid day off each year to volunteer in their community.
Regions' commitment to social responsibility is further detailed in the
company's annual Social Responsibility Report. The entire report is
available as part of the Community
Engagement section of regions.com.
