FirstBank hosted an election last fall in its Roaring Fork Valley branches from when it invited customers and passerby to vote for their favorite charities. Spokesperson Mallory Kaufman said charities for animals were the most popular.
This fall, FirstBank is sponsoring a pet adoption that ran from Wednesday through today Saturday, Sept. 30 at Colorado Animal Rescue (C.A.R.E.) in Glenwood Springs from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. FirstBank will pay all adoption fees at C.A.R.E. For more information, call C.A.R.E 970-947-9173 or visit the organization’s website online at coloradoanimalrescue.org.
The site has photos and mini-bios of dogs, cats, kittens, and a furry ball-shaped animal named Carmelo — all awaiting for their human friends to bring them home.
C.A.R.E. asks that you click on this link coloradoanimalrescue.org/pet-adoption-survey-3/ and complete an easy survey prior to adopting.
The bank is offering free treats to humans on Tuesday, Oct. 10, in partnership with Roaring Fork Transit Authority when it gives away free scoops of ice cream and sorbet to commuters at RFTA’s Basalt Park & Ride stop from 5-7 p.m.
Eight FirstBank staffers also volunteered to help harvest vegetables at Two Roots Farm in Basalt then delievered the produce to valley food pantries.
