First Western Bank is excited to announce their 6th Annual Volunteer Days, October 7th – 11th, 2024. The week-long initiative unites employees with local charities, non-profits, and community organizations to make a positive impact in the communities they serve.
Building on the success of previous years, First Western employees are set to contribute over 1,000 hours of service during the Volunteer Days. Activities will range from packing meals at local food banks and cleaning up our community’s streets and buildings, to creating tie blankets for shelters and delivering cold-weather gear to schools in need.
First Western’s founder, J.H. ‘Jack’ Hoeven Jr., set a strong precedent for community involvement, instilling a spirit of giving back that remains integral to the bank’s mission over the last 60 years. “Volunteer Days has become something our employees look forward to each year. This tradition embodies the commitment of our employees to their communities,” said Brenda K. Foster, Chairman, President, & CEO of First Western Bank. “We are proud to continue this legacy and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those around us.”
With approximately 350 employees across 19 locations in North Dakota, Minnesota, and South Dakota, First Western Bank takes pride in its role as a community bank to make an impact in the communities they serve. Throughout Volunteer Days, employees will engage in activities that honor Mr. Hoeven’s enduring legacy and reinforce the bank’s dedication to enhancing the quality of life in the communities it serves.
