Spark is a program created as a way to show our support and appreciation to the non-profits and agencies that have done so much for our communities in various ways.

This is our way of thanking them!

January
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!
February
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. 
March
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.
April
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.
