Today, more than 40,000 elderly and infirmed Veterans live in our nation’s 160 Veterans nursing homes. These brave men and women served our country and defended the freedom we all enjoy today. Our Veterans deserve the very best we can give them. We are proud to have created and sustained a banking industry initiative to provide the nationally-acclaimed Senior Crimestoppers program to every Veterans nursing home at no cost to the facilities or their residents which will enable them to live out their lives in safe, secure environments with and enhanced quality of life. Join us as we honor our Veterans for their service.
Thank you to all who attended our conference and made it a successful event. We hope to see you at our next one! Here are some pictures highlighting the events.
“We are pleased to grant the funding for the Senior Crimestoppers Program for the residents of Country Villa Pavilion Nursing Center to provide education and create a safer, more secure facility for our senior citizens in the communities we serve. Like this program, we will continue to enrich the lives of the communities we serve.” Stated Min Kim, President and Chief Executive Officer of Open Bank.
“Crime against the elderly in our society is a growing concern but can be reduced and prevented through programs like these. AmeriServ believes in this worthwhile cause and is proud to partner with Crimestoppers and CRA Partners to provide funding to non-profit organizations when possible. We share similar missions and goals with both organizations. We want to help provide better life experiences for their residents. We’re a community bank and we have vested interest in the safety of our neighbors,” said Mitch Edwards, Vice President and Commercial Relationship Manager for AmeriServ.
