Independence Bank’s 3rd Annual Day of Good Returns This Fall!

At Independence Bank, we have a tradition of going forward by giving back. We’ll continue this commitment with the return of our annual Day of Good, a bank-wide event dedicated to service and supporting our communities. This Fall, over 400 Independence Bank employees, family members, and friends will get together to do Good across Kentucky.

For the 3rd year, we are partnering with 15 organizations, agencies, and non-profits across the Commonwealth to support projects that uplift our neighborhoods. From serving meals, cheering on Special Olympics athletes, cleaning, and providing a comfortable place to sleep for those without beds, this effort prioritizes helping those who are already working hard to make our community the best it can be.

We hope you’ll tune in to see the Good we’re planning for the year!
