Bank of North Georgia Customers Asked to Donate Toys

Toys collected from the Cumming branch of Bank of North Georgia will go to the Hightower Association Food and Clothing Bank.

The Bank of North Georgia and Bank of Coweta are hosting a Holiday Toy Drive through Friday, Dec. 16 at all 46 branches in metro Atlanta. Bank officials say 2,787 toys were collected last year in the toy drive.

“Bank of North Georgia is very much at the heart of community life in Metro Atlanta, supporting those institutions and programs that make the communities we serve desirable places to live and work," said Don Howard, chairman and CEO of Bank of North Georgia. "Our branch teams are excited to embrace a local charity this season by collecting new, unwrapped toys to help local families. We are hoping that all children will have a joyous holiday this year."

Each branch selected a local charity to support. Customers and local residents can participate in the Holiday Toy Drive by bringing new, unwrapped toys for boys and girls to Bank of North Georgia and Bank of Coweta branches.
