Sixteen nonprofit partners will distribute gifts to children ahead of the December holiday.
The holiday trees set out in each of the bank’s 20 branch locations feature ornaments with specific children and their holiday gift requests. Those interested in donating can visit a branch to pick an ornament or call to request ornament information by phone.
Gifts can be dropped off at the branches or via curbside pickup.
