The First Bank annual food drive brought in over 1,000 pounds of non-perishable food for The Food Bank of Manatee during the holiday season. Collection barrels were placed at all First Bank locations in Manatee County for contributions of food for Emergency Food Baskets for families and children in need. In addition to their collection, some First Bank employees chose to give up their holiday office party and put those funds toward food for The Food Bank instead.
