Thousands of persons who might have gone hungry or been forgotten over the holidays enjoyed hot meals and home-wrapped gifts, thanks to the generosity of Commonwealth Bank’s management and staff who joined hearts and hands to bring more for those who have least.
“The idea began two years ago when staff members came to us and said they wanted to raise funds to bring joy to the less fortunate over the holidays and they would be willing to reach into their own pockets to do so,” said Ian Jennings, President. “We were so moved by their caring spirit thatwe responded without hesitation: ‘Whatever you raise, we’ll match,’ and it’s grown from there.”
