Equity Trust Company Gives a Ton to Local Causes – Literally…

During the Holiday’s Equity Trust donates more than 2,000 lbs (a ton) of food; participates in Toys for Tots; and prepares and donates turkeys to local church

Many businesses are generous during the holidays when it comes to providing necessities for those less fortunate. However, employees at Equity Trust Company demonstrated a ton of generosity by collecting – literally – a ton of food for a local Cleveland, Ohio charity, the SCAN Food Pantry. In just more than a week’s time in December, employees showed their holiday spirit by donating more than 2,000 pounds of canned food, bottled water and other non-perishable items for the pantry.


Also during the holidays, Equity Trust Company employees enjoyed shopping for Toys for Tots, a U.S. Marine Corps Reserve program that provides gifts to children whose parents cannot afford to buy them. In all, more than 450 toys were collected to help brighten the holidays for area children.


During Thanksgiving, many employees spent some extra time in the kitchen, cooking up turkeys for Saints Peter and Paul Orthodox Church in Lorain, Ohio. The number of turkeys provided this year topped previous years, as 51 turkeys were prepared, sealed and delivered to the church so that area families could enjoy a bountiful holiday meal.

Committed to helping clients grow their wealth, Equity Trust Company also believes in helping area organizations and families who may not be as fortunate. Each year, Equity Trust Company’s Community Service Committee works with several area organizations to provide whatever assistance is needed.
