✨Foundation Friday✨

Today, we’re shining a spotlight on our incredible Palmetto Citizens Foundation members who volunteered with Senior Resources Inc. this week to help pack nutritious meals for local seniors in need.

Through their time and service, our volunteers helped support seniors in our community by ensuring they have access to healthy meals and essential resources. Small acts of kindness can make a big impact, and we are so grateful for Foundation members who continue to step up and serve others.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered and helped make a difference this week. Your compassion and commitment are helping strengthen our community one meal at a time.

✨ Take Action Tuesday ✨

June marks the halfway point of the year.

Take a moment to reflect on the impact you've made so far in 2026.

Maybe you've volunteered your time, supported a local nonprofit, mentored someone, or helped create opportunities for others.

Every act of service, generosity, and kindness helps strengthen our communities.

As we begin the second half of the year, consider one small action you can take to make a difference. Small actions, repeated over time, create meaningful change.

At the Palmetto Citizens Foundation, we believe lasting change happens when people come together to invest in education, support community development, and create opportunities for economic empowerment.

How do you hope to make a difference during the second half of the year?

We’re proud to share something that makes the Palmetto Citizens Foundation truly special — 100% of every donation made to the Foundation goes directly back into our community.

Every dollar donated helps support local nonprofits, financial literacy initiatives, community programs, volunteer efforts, and organizations making a meaningful impact in the lives of others throughout the communities we serve.

Because of the generosity of our Foundation members and supporters, we are able to continue investing in people, strengthening communities, and creating opportunities for lasting change.

Thank you for believing in our mission and helping us make a difference — together.

We are thankful for our amazing Palmetto Citizens Foundation members who volunteered with Harvest Hope Food Bank earlier this month!

From sorting donations to packing food for families in need, our volunteers rolled up their sleeves and made a real impact in the community. Every box packed and every helping hand shared helps support neighbors across the Midlands facing food insecurity.

We are incredibly thankful for our Foundation members who continue to step up, give back, and put our mission into action. Your dedication to serving others is what Take Action Tuesday is all about!

✨ Foundation Friday ✨

Community shows up in moments like this.

Together with Palmetto Citizens Federal Credit Union, we’re proud to support the ColaJazz & Roots Fest, a free community event that brings people together through music, culture, and connection.

What makes ColaJazz especially meaningful is their commitment to education, from bringing music into classrooms to creating opportunities for students beyond them.

Because learning doesn’t just happen in a classroom.

It happens through experiences that inspire what’s possible.

If you’re heading out this weekend, we’d love to see you there.
