FineMark National Bank & Trust donates $13,400 to Community Cooperative

FineMark National Bank & Trust and its Fort Myers clients donated $13,400 to Community Cooperative’s annual Full Plates Project to provide Thanksgiving food packages to families in need. FineMark offered to collect items and donations from clients for the drive, as well as to match financial donations from the bank’s Fort Myers clients up to $5,000.

“A very important part of our culture is to help others in our community, and this is an excellent example of how when we all work together, we make a big impact,” said Joseph R. Catti, chairman and CEO of FineMark National Bank & Trust. “Thank you to everyone who helped in this Thanksgiving effort.”

In all, Community Cooperative distributed, cooked and prepared over 3,000 turkeys as a part of the Full Plates Project.

“We are incredibly grateful to business partners like FineMark National Bank & Trust, who step up to provide for their neighbors while also engaging their clients to support our efforts,” said Stefanie Edwards, CEO of Community Cooperative.

The need for volunteers and donations extends beyond the holidays. To donate or to volunteer, visit communitycooperative.com or call 239-332-7687.
