To assist the victims of Hurricane Katrina, First Bank is accepting and encouraging community and customer donations at all First Bank locations. The bank will also support and match First Bank employee donations during the Hurricane Katrina Relief Fund Drive.
“We are all witnessing a catastrophic disaster caused by Hurricane Katrina,” said Terry McCarthy, chairman, president and chief executive officer for First Bank. “Both in the short and long term, there will be a great need for assistance of all kinds for the people affected by the hurricane.”
Through September 30, First Bank customers and others in the community who want to make a financial donation to the Hurricane Katrina Relief Fund Drive may do so at any First Bank location. Checks, money orders or cashier’s checks should be made out to the American Red Cross Hurricane Relief. Cancelled checks can be used as a tax receipt.
“We appreciate any support in this relief drive to raise badly needed funds for the victims in Louisiana and Mississippi,” said McCarthy.
