Team WSFS Associates volunteer at Cradles to Crayons for We Stand for Service Day.
Nearly 1,500 WSFS associates volunteered at more than 130 community organizations across the region on June 12 as part of WSFS Bank’s second annual We Stand for Service Day.
The company-wide day of giving back through volunteerism resulted in more than 5,000 hours of service provided to organizations located in Delaware, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
“Our commitment to service goes beyond banking. Through initiatives like We Stand for Service Day, we aim to make a tangible and positive impact in the Communities we proudly call home,” said Vernita Dorsey, Senior Vice President, Director of Community Strategy at WSFS Bank. “We’re thankful to our dedicated Associates and community partners, whose unwavering support make impactful initiatives like this possible.”
Multiple leaders from the organizations served shared their thoughts on WSFS Bank’s We Stand for Service Day:
Evan Ehlers, Founder, Sharing Excess:
“In a world where food waste and food insecurity coexist, Sharing Excess
aims to revolutionize food sharing by solving the logistical barriers of
rescue and redistribution. We rely on volunteers, such as WSFS Associates,
to sort, glean and distribute fresh nutritional food to our neighbors in
need.”
Gina Davio, Community Engagement Manager, HomeFront:
“All of us at HomeFront are incredibly grateful for the dedicated volunteers
from Bryn Mawr Trust, who have made a significant impact on our families’
lives through their selfless service at HomeFront's Resource Network. This
includes their help within our Choice Food Pantry, the Diaper Resource
Center, our FreeStore and Furnish the Future program. Their commitment and
hard work have enabled us to provide food, diapers, household items and more
to countless families in need. Together, we are making a real difference and
building a stronger community.”
