Hoe, Hoe, Hoe!

Volunteers from Key Bank lend a hand.

Five employees from Key Bank in Ellsworth took an afternoon on May 24 to volunteer at Washington Hancock Community Agency. Jo-Ann Coffin, Bridgette Shorey, Melissa Clark, Chris Klenk and Deb Whittier spent several hours hoeing, raking and weeding the flower beds around the WHCA facility on the Bucksport Road. The effort was part of Key Bank's nationwide Community Is Key, Neighbors Make The Difference project.

The first Neighbors Day activity took place in Alaska 21 years ago and began as a day spent in a variety of community service projects. 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.

WHCA is a nonprofit organization founded in 1966. Each year, WHCA provides more than 25,000 services to Down East residents, ranging from transportation and heating assistance to small business training and tax preparation.
