First Bank and WHW/Men2Work have teamed up again this year to host a women’s and men’s business clothing
drive from November 5 through November 16 throughout Orange County.
“First Bank is delighted to support WHW and their dedication to helping low-income women and men enter the workforce by providing appropriate business clothing, image consulting, and employment search support. The clothing that is going unused in your closet today can make a huge difference to another woman, man, or teen tomorrow,” said Susan Montoya, Vice President and Corporate CRA Officer of First Bank. “We are pleased to partner with such a worthwhile organization.”
First Bank is proud to join in and assist with WHW and
their efforts. Eight First Bank branches in Orange County, including two offices serving as year-round drop off sites,

makeup and jewelry. Also, they will be accepting new or gently worn evening gowns and accessories for high school
seniors.
