Celebrating 100 years of service, Farmers Citizens Bank is giving back to the community in ways that are important to their customers.

Sponsored by WWR in partnership with the CBAO, the WWR Outstanding Community Partner Award was created to honor those community banks in Ohio that actively partner with their local communities to provide educational, community outreach and/or community service programs, and celebrates those that are investing time and resources into their communities and inspiring others through their work. Nominations were to demonstrate social vision and clearly communicate how employee volunteerism is the key to their community involvement. Along with a crystal trophy, Farmers Citizens Bank also received a check in the amount of $2,000.00. Doris M. Lambert, Vice President and Director of Risk Management for Farmers Citizens Bank, gratefully accepted the award on behalf of the bank.

All registrants demonstrated a heart-felt commitment to community service and were recognized for their participation. Some of the other nominees included Citizens National Bank (Chillicothe), The Killbuck Savings Bank Company (Killbuck), Oak Hill Banks (Jackson), and The Savings Bank (Circleville).
