Highlights & Happenings from Fairfield Federal | Dec. 2023

The Season of Giving and Gratitude at Fairfield Federal

The holiday season has officially kicked-off with the beautiful downtown Christmas tree sparkling right outside our Main Office. As we reflect on the year, at Fairfield Federal we are filled with gratitude for our customers, our community and each other.

Our team has recently enjoyed many opportunities to give back. This fall, our staff participated in our annual Columbus Day Random Acts of Kindness and we rolled up our sleeves to help Habitat for Humanity with its 150^th home build. Fairfield Federal was chosen to be a community connection partner by the 2^nd grade class at Fairfield Christian Academy. Our staff delighted the students with goody bags for Thanksgiving. We recently completed a Stuff-A-Trolley food drive campaign, which supported the Community Action Food Pantry. And, we had lovely pine trees planted in front of each of our offices to decorate for the holidays; after which they will be donated and replanted at the American Legion in Lancaster, and the Dog Parks in Lancaster and Pickerington. Some highlight photos are at the end of this newsletter. Thank you to all who contributed to these impactful initiatives!
