Capital City employees lauded for volunteerism
From Staff Reports
A program aimed at inspiring employees to give back through pub
lic service has exceeded expectations for Capital City Bank, tallying
more than 350 volunteer hours in Waynesboro alone, while receiving
industry accolades for community outreach.
The bank’s “Take it to 10” initiative, which requires that associates
devote at least 10 hours to volunteer activities during the year, re
cently received an honorable mention at the first annual Southeast
Community Bank “GIVE” Awards in Atlanta. The awards recognize
community banks that have launched exceptional public service ef
forts.
With a staff of 10 in Waynesboro, Capital City Bank associates
spent time volunteering by mentoring students, working on scholar
ship projects and giving time to the Rotary Club, Chamber of Com
merce, Exchange Club, Genealogical and Historical Society, Burke
County High School Business Education Advisory Board and Relay
for Life.
“Volunteerism is at the heart and soul of good corporate citizenship,
and through our Take it to 10 program our associates reach beyond
serving banking clients to make a difference in the lives of others,”
said Valerie Crawford, the bank’s Market Leader in Waynesboro.
In her free time, Crawford involves herself in a number of volun
teer efforts and recently opened her house up for the Town & Country
Woman’s Club Tour of Homes.
All Waynesboro associates participated in the Hometown Heroes
Day by preparing packages for local soldiers overseas and all helped
with Christmas on Liberty Square.
Launched last January, Take it to 10 bank volunteers in all CCB
offices and branches have clocked more than 12,092 hours — meet
ing the goal of the program after only six months. “We knew that
many community banks make helping the community a priority, but
we were deeply touched by the scope of their generosity,” said Sal
Inserra, partner at Porter Keadle Moore, LLP, the accounting firm that
hosted the awards. “These banks had amazing programs underway
long before the awards were announced; we’re happy to make people
aware of the inspiring things they do.”
