Community Commitment

Help Us Help Others This Holiday Season

This holiday season, First Commonwealth® has partnered with local organizations within our communities to support those in need. It’s all a part of our dedication to make our communities a better and brighter place to live. You can help us make a difference this year by supporting any of the various efforts below.

Toys for Tots: At All First Commonwealth Office locations!

Put a smile on a child’s face this holiday season by donating and delivering a toy to any of our 112 community office locations. Simply bring in a new toy (no gift wrapping necessary) to any of our offices and we will see that the local Toys for Tots receives your generous donation. This promotion runs through December 21, 2007 so hurry in and make someone’s holiday bright! Visit their website at www.toysfortots.org

Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank Food Drive: At all locations!

Be a part of the 2007 Hometown vs. Hunger™! First Commonwealth, the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank, the University of Pittsburgh™ and Duquesne University unite this holiday season to put an end to hunger in our marketplace.

Simply bring a bag of non perishable canned food items into any First Commonwealth office and we’ll take care of the rest! Plus, your donation will get you a coupon to purchase a specially priced $1 ticket to watch a great local basketball rivalry – Pitt vs. Duquesne on December 22, 2007 at 2 p.m. at the Petersen Events Center on the University of Pitt campus. Bring two bags of food and receive two coupons! What a great way to combat hunger in our area and see the much anticipated rematch of these two area teams.
