Christmas in the Village

02/09/2026

Thank you Hocking Valley Bank for thinking of us!

This year we’re excited to bring the Heart for a Cause campaign to our community. In the upcoming week, we’ll feature each of our offices and the non-profit group they have chosen as their beneficiary. In addition to your donations, on February 14, we’ll match community members gifts up to $500!

Our first feature comes from the Albany office who have chosen the The Albany Fall Festival to show love to! If you love festive community events as much as we do, this is a non-profit worth celebrating! Just stop by our Albany branch and visit the Valentine’s Day box on display in the office by end-of-day February 13.

🧡 Community at Its Best 🧡

This incredible food giveaway was made possible through a partnership between Albany Ohio Festivals Inc. and the Joe Burrow Foundation, with local individuals and businesses stepping up to match the Joe Burrow Foundation’s donation — how amazing is that?!

Because of this generosity, we were able to give away approximately 275 community food meals to families in our area.

A huge shoutout to the Albany Volunteer Fire Station personnel and Memory Lane Creamery for helping with our drive-through food giveaway and keeping everything running smoothly.

We are so thankful for a community that shows up, supports one another, and makes a real difference. 🫶🍽️
