“It’s all in the name…Community .”– Branch Manager Lori Dzielski ( second from right in picture above )

According to Branch Manager Lori Dzielski, “The biggest reason we support the Foundation is that we are alike, we are both community-based. With eight branches in Allegany County we meet the needs of customers staff and their families, much as the Foundation does. Personally, I have seen how difficult the cost of higher education is and, by working with the Foundation, we can make it easier for families in Allegany County. Many of our young people will  someday become leaders of  our community.”
