WSFS Associates and Their Families Volunteer Across the Region for Take Your Children to the Community Day
04 May 2022 - 12:47AM
WSFS Associates, their children and family members formed a group
of more than 60 volunteers on April 28 across the Greater
Philadelphia and Delaware region as part of “Take Your Children to
the Community Day,” WSFS’ spin on the national “Take Our Daughters
and Sons to Work Day.”
WSFS worked closely with nonprofit partners throughout the
Bank’s footprint in Delaware, Pennsylvania and New Jersey to hold
events to give back to our local communities while teaching the
next generations the value of helping others and the impact they
can make.
Volunteer events were held at:
- Delaware Humane Association (New Castle County, Del.)
- Delaware Center for Horticulture (New Castle County, Del.)
- Southern Delaware Therapeutic Riding (Sussex County, Del.)
- Jewish Relief Agency (Philadelphia)
- Lisa’s Army Ziplock Bag Campaign (Philadelphia)
- Our Closet (Philadelphia and Delaware County, Pa.)
- Cradles to Crayons (Philadelphia)
- Manna on Main Street (Montgomery County, Pa.)
- UrbanPromise NJ (Camden County, N.J.)
“Our dedicated Associates are the gift that keeps on giving,
leveraging their time, talent and resources to help make an impact
in the community throughout the year,” said Vernita Dorsey, Senior
Vice President, Director of Community Strategy at WSFS Bank. “Take
Your Children to the Community Day provides an excellent
opportunity for Associates to get their families involved in the
community and teach younger generations the importance of giving
back. We look forward to this day each year as a chance to work
with our nonprofits and make an impact in the areas where we live,
work and play.”
“We want to thank WSFS’ volunteers for coming out to help clean
up the historic Hattie Phelan Garden on the East Side of
Wilmington,” said Marcia Stephenson, Delaware Center for
Horticulture Director of Advancement. “Volunteers helped pick up
trash, pull weeds, prune shrubs and rake leaves. WSFS volunteers
have been working at this garden each spring for the last 5 years,
and WSFS has also supported our Public Landscapes and Branches to
Chances Program.”
“It was such a pleasure having WSFS join us both at our pop-up
shop at Philadelphia Episcopal Cathedral and at our warehouse to
help out,” said Melanie London, Our Closet Program Director. “The
WSFS team spent the day sorting clothing donations, organizing
inventory, packing emergency clothing bags for delivery, and
helping shoppers directly with obtaining the clothing they need.
Our relationship with WSFS is truly meaningful. Not only do they
share our commitment to helping those in need by supporting us
financially, they join us to volunteer, making even more of an
impact. We’re so grateful for this partnership!”
“On behalf of UrbanPromise I’d like to say thank you to the WSFS
team that served at our campus,” said John Bahm, UrbanPromise
Workgroup Manager. “The WSFS team came up big in the Butterfly
Garden transformation to prepare the garden for the spring and
summer seasons. Their effort is what epitomizes the true value and
mission of UrbanPromise. We believe our efforts transform the lives
of the children we support, just like the Butterfly Garden
transforms the caterpillar into the butterfly. We cannot do this
without the help, effort and love that our partners like WSFS
provide!”
In addition to Take Your Children to the Community Day, WSFS
Associates took part in Teach Children to Save Week from April
25-29, 2022, providing in-person and virtual financial literacy
lessons to hundreds of elementary school students in Delaware,
Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
