“We’ve spent more than a year managing the disruptive effects of
operating in a pandemic and it felt like the right time to
reinforce our long-standing emphasis on investment in our people
and our communities,” said CB&T’s President and CEO, Eric
Ellingsen. “By elevating our associates, we elevate California Bank
& Trust, the long-term success of our clients and the
communities we serve. It’s a full-circle effect.”
To celebrate “Give Day,” CB&T partnered with five non-profit
organizations throughout the key markets of San Diego, Orange
County, Los Angeles and the Bay Area. Charities included Feeding
San Diego; Orange County United Way; Habitat for Humanity of
Greater Los Angeles; Mercy Housing California and Habitat for
Humanity of Greater San Francisco.
More than 115 CB&T associates contributed to in-person and
hands-on volunteer activities, including food sorting, mural
painting and home building. Additionally, all CB&T locations
participated in donation collections. Event highlights
included:
- To support Feeding San Diego, CB&T associates helped sort,
pack and prepare the distribution of fresh and nutritious food for
those facing hunger. More than 8,800 pounds of food organized and
packed to help San Diegans facing hunger.
- CB&T associates joined Orange County United Way in a
community mural-painting project at Del Obispo Elementary, a Title
1 school. Their efforts included hand-painting inspirational quotes
and images on the school’s handball courts.
- CB&T associates teamed up with Habitat for Humanity Greater
Los Angeles to give back to their community through a hands-on
project helping to build a house within the region. Associates also
volunteered at three Habitat for Humanity ReStores in Los
Angeles.
- CB&T set up collection bins from Aug. 2 to 20 at more than
80 branch locations throughout the state calling for school supply
donations to benefit Mercy Housing California. With an initial goal
of collecting 500 backpacks, CB&T doubled their goal with more
than 1,100 backpacks filled with back-to-school items and
distributed to students heading into the classroom.
- CB&T associates will be partnering with Habitat for
Humanity of Greater San Francisco for a volunteering activity in
the near future.
“We are deeply rooted in the communities we live and work in,”
added Ellingsen. “Everything CB&T stands for was underscored
throughout this full day of giving back – including community,
connection and stewardship. It was really a very special way to
wrap up our conference.”
