Wayne Bank kicks off Pike County holiday food drive

MILFORD — On Friday, Oct. 30, Wayne Bank’s Pike County offices in Milford, Lords Valley, and Shohola will be hosting a Customer Appreciation Day to kick off their annual food drive.

MaryAlice Petzinger, Wayne Bank regional vice president and manager of the Milford community office, invites the community to stop by that day for some free refreshments at any of the three Pike County community offices.

“It is another chance for us to thank our customers, invite the public to see what we have to offer, and to promote a very worthy cause," she said. "Each year we collect non-perishable food to donate to local organizations that distribute the food to the less fortunate in our area."

This year the bank will be collecting food until Nov. 20, in time for Thanksgiving.

“Over the past several years the food drive has been a tremendous success," said Petzinger. "The people of Pike County really come out to help our less-fortunate neighbors. The need is as great as ever. It has been both very encouraging and gratifying to be part of this program, so I am looking forward to another year of collectively doing our best to help.”

Wayne Bank is a subsidiary of Norwood Financial Corp., Member FDIC, and is located in Honesdale. The bank has 15 community offices in Wayne, Pike, Monroe, and Lackawanna counties.
