First Financial and community members collected 183 food items during their Food Drive Oct. 11-21. Branch employees delivered the food to local agencies including Welcome House of Northern Kentucky and Camp Ernst Middle School for distribution around the Northern Kentucky community.

The drive coincided with World Food Day on Oct. 16, in hopes of promoting engagement and action for those who suffer from food insecurities. First Financial associates also took part in rallies and events at each of its locations to generate awareness. 

Earlier this year, First Financial collected over 20,000 books and donated them to area schools, libraries, community-focused organizations believing that nutrition, health, and literacy are central to the strength and well-being of a community.
