Barbers will be on site to give students fresh haircuts for the school year and children will have the opportunity to receive new school uniforms and clothing, as resources allow. There will also be food and refreshments, along with fun family activities. Additionally, staff will be onsite to help families register for seasonal assistance throughout the Christmas season.
“We are honored to continue our long-standing partnership with The Salvation Army and provide vital resources for learning,” said Brent Semachko, FNB’s Director of Corporate Responsibility. “Growing our support in Pittsburgh, FNB’s headquarters region, forges deep connections with the community and enables us to serve even more students within the Bank’s footprint ahead of the new school year.”
