GIVING BACK TOGETHER: VOLUNTEER DAY 2025

Volunteer Day is one of the many ways Heritage Bank invests in our region beyond banking.

Community is at the heart of everything we do. On September 10, we put that value into action during our annual Volunteer Day. Across Washington, Oregon and Idaho, our offices closed at noon so employees could spend the afternoon giving back to the neighborhoods we call home.

Hundreds of team members rolled up their sleeves to support dozens of local nonprofits—packing food boxes at local food banks, beautifying community parks, assisting animal shelters and lending a hand at housing and youth organizations. From Seattle to Spokane, Portland to Boise, the spirit of service was felt across the Northwest.

Volunteer Day is more than a tradition—it’s a reminder that when we come together, we can make a meaningful difference. We are proud of our employees’ dedication, generosity and teamwork in strengthening the communities we serve. Thank you to all who participated and to our nonprofit partners for the vital work they do each day. Together, we are building stronger, more vibrant communities for the future.

Your participation and support is advocacy in and of itself, and we appreciate your commitment to our partnership.
