Neighbors Make the Difference Day launched in 1991, with a group of KeyBank employees in Alaska who volunteered for service projects. By 1993, KeyBank extended the concept to many of the communities it served, making it an official day of employee volunteerism. Now, Neighbors Make the Difference Day is a hallmark program and leading corporate volunteerism effort in America, showcasing KeyBank’s commitment to communities.
“Neighbors Make the Difference Day is another way that KeyBank invests in Buffalo by dedicating our collective time and talent to help communities thrive,” said Michael McMahon, KeyBank Buffalo Market President. “On this day and every day, we take pride in showing up in Buffalo and all of the communities we serve to brighten lives and help transform neighborhoods in a meaningful way.”
