First Financial Bank (Nasdaq: FFBC) and its associates will host a book drive at the bank’s locations in the Columbus area, continuing the bank’s ongoing efforts to support financial literacy.
From May 5-31, residents can donate books by dropping them in a bin in First Financial locations in Columbus, Edinburgh and Hope. Donated books can address financial literacy or any other subject. At the end of the campaign, First Financial associates will deliver all donated books to local schools, libraries and nonprofits in communities served by the bank.
“In recent years, our book drives have collected thousands of volumes to foster improved financial literacy in our communities, and we’re proud to continue this campaign as another way to help our clients and communities thrive,” said Roddell McCullough, chief corporate responsibility officer for First Financial Bank.
In 2024, community members teamed up with First Financial to collect over 4,000 books in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois, including 511 in the Columbus area. As in previous years, First Financial will also offer a list of recommended books to help with financial literacy, available at each financial center during the book drive.
