First Bank Branches Out With WHW/Men2Work

In partnership with WHW/Men2Work, First Bank has opened a third permanent new clothing drop off site at the Beverly Hills branch (9145 Wilshire Blvd).  The third location augments First Bank’s two other WHW locations at Fullerton (1375 S. Harbor Blvd) and Laguna Niguel (25461 Rancho Niguel Road).

 

“We are excited about opening a third location and our ongoing partnership with WHW/Men2Work,” said Susan Montoya, Senior Vice President and Corporate CRA Officer of First Bank. “Adding a third permanent collection site really extends the reach for an outstanding organization that helps so many low-income women and men enter the workforce in a positive way.”
