At Keystone, we have a "Jeans Day" every other Friday. On these days, employees are awarded a casual day for the fee of $5, which is donated to various charities throughout the year. Each branch and department gets the opportunity to choose an organization, family, or cause to sponsor at least one Friday of the year.
This is a great way to encourage our employees to donate, and also be involved in where their contributions end up.
Over the past year, Keystone employees (along with a handful of customers) have donated a total of $3,662 to 19 different charities! These charities include:
- Eleanor's Food Pantry
- Special Olympics of Kalamazoo
- Portage Community Center
- Kalamazoo Animal Rescue
- Drug Treatment Court
- Great Lakes PeaceJam
- American Red Cross–Earthquake and Tsunami Victims in Japan
- American Cancer Center–Relay for Life
- Memorial Fund for Officer Eric Zapata
