PCSB Bank in Yorktown will partner with United for the Troops by launching a drive to provide those serving in the armed forces with much-needed donations.
Red collection bins at all of PCSB”™s 14 branches will accept donations until May 31. A wish list of nonperishable items can be found at Wish List – United for the Troops. The drive commemorates Military Appreciation Month throughout May as well as National Armed Forces Day Saturday, May 21.
This donation effort was spearheaded by PCSB Bank”™s Veterans Affinity Group, including members and Co-Chairs Cindy M. Schwager and Donna Hermiston. In keeping with its inclusive workplace culture, PCSB”™s Senior Vice President, Chief Diversity Officer and Director of Community Development Michelle A. Nicholas established a number of Employee Affinity Groups at the bank.
National Armed Forces Day was established by President Harry S. Truman in 1949 as a special way for citizens to thank those who are currently serving in the armed forces and to celebrate the five branches of the military.
PCSB Bank, a New York-chartered stock commercial bank, has served the banking needs of its customers in the lower Hudson Valley of New York state since 1871.
