SPARK

The First Heritage SPARK crew volunteered at the Food Bank of the Southern Tier for our January SPARK initiative. We helped with repackaging cabbage and potatoes to be distributed throughout our community!

For the month of February, our SPARK crew was excited to deliver 100 cake kits to local organizations, helping those in need celebrate their birthdays with a special treat! The kits were delivered to the Corning Community Food Pantry in Steuben County, The Glove House and the Samaritan Center in Chemung County and HAVEN in Tioga County. 

For our March SPARK initiative, we supported the Children's Miracle Network at Arnot Ogden Medical Center. We volunteered and delivered goodie baskets to be distributed to the nurses to recognize the vital role they play in the care of the mothers and babies before, during and after birth.

First Heritage celebrated Earth Month with the Friends of the Chemung River Watershed, Inc. for our April SPARK initiative! We walked the Chemung River picking up garbage, including a shopping cart, to help keep the waterways in our community accessible and clean.

For our May SPARK initiative, we are proud to support our local YMCAs and YWCAs by delivering outdoor toys, sports balls and equipment that help kids stay active, healthy and engaged all summer long.We delivered baskets of outdoor toys to local YMCAs and YWCAs. We stopped by the Corning Family YMCA, Hornell Area Family YMCA, YWCA of Elmira & the Twin Tiers and River Valley Regional YMCA Tioga County Branch.

For our June SPARK initiative, our team had the privilege of volunteering at The Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania assisting with landscaping efforts at the welcome center. We had a great time giving back and supporting our state parks.
