The Project We Care program at Champlain National Bank partners with local agencies and schools throughout the region to help collect toys, food, warm clothing, and other items, which are provided to people in need in our communities during the holidays. The Bank provides the majority of the funding to fulfill these projects, which is supplemented by the generosity of our employees and people from the communities we serve.

Projects are as follows:

Keene: The team collected warm clothing for local children and senior citizens in need, working in conjunction with local churches and the Keene Valley Neighborhood House.

Lake Placid: The team collected toys, toiletries, clothing, and gift cards for the North Elba Christmas Fund.

Saranac Lake: The team collected toys, toiletries, clothing, and gift cards for the North Elba Christmas Fund.

“Employees of Champlain National Bank are always looking for ways to give back to their communities, and Project We Care has become our signature annual event that allows us to take care of some of the most vulnerable people in our area. We know that the holidays can be difficult for people in need, so we hope our Project We Care initiatives help make the season a little easier for our neighbors,” said Jackie Hallock, director of marketing. “It’s also important to us that everything collected goes to families and children in need in the North Country and Adirondacks.”
