Our Friends From Key Bank 'Make a Difference' at Meals On Wheels

Once again this year, associates from Key Bank volunteered with Meals On Wheels of Stark & Wayne Counties as part of the bank's annual "Neighbors Make The Difference" day

Every year Key focuses on community service projects during May, which the company has designated as "Key Community Month." In addition to the month-long focus, this year Key set aside May 24 for "Neighbors Make The Difference," encouraging associates to volunteer with local non-profit agencies.

 Our volunteer team arrived at 9 a.m. today and immediately went to work in our commissary, helping to pack meals both for today and Monday. It's a big help for us, because tomorrow (Friday) we'll be delivering both the regular meal and a sack meal to our clients, so that they have their meal on Monday. We'll be closed Monday in observance of the Memorial Day holiday.

Having the extra help makes a big difference for us, and for our clients. We appreciate our friends from Key Bank for their spirit of service!

Key Bank Volunteers Make a Difference for Meals On Wheels of Stark & Wayne Counties

As part of Key Bank's "Neighbors Make The Difference" day, four representatives of Key in our region volunteered this morning at our commissary in Massillon.

Greg Endres and Janet Deierling (top photo) and Lesa Nicholson-Jackson and Marsha Cain-Reed (bottom photo) worked in our commissary from 8:30 a.m. to 12 noon and helped prepare food items that will be used in meal deliveries to our clients.

According to a statement about Neighbors Make The Difference day on the Key Bank website, "Senior management, managers and staff come together in groups, support Key's volunteer spirit and go to work as community servants. By volunteering, employees become aware that they are part of a company that believes strongly in the importance of community and see first-hand the positive impact of Key's activities in the places where we live, work and conduct business."

"We appreciate Key's commitment to community and the help they have provided to our agency," said Teresa Barry, CEO of Meals On Wheels of Stark & Wayne Counties. "It means a lot to know that businesses like Key Bank are willing to step in and help us fulfill our mission of providing nutritious meals for homebound individuals in the two-county area."
