First CornerStone Bank is a locally owned and operated community bank. We believe that as a growing community bank we have the right and obligation to ensure our local communities are better places for all to live, work and enjoy.

This winter, First CornerStone Bank again has chosen to participate in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program. All branches will serve as a collection and drop off site for new, unwrapped toys from November 21st through December 15th. These toys will be distributed as holiday gifts to needy children in the local community of each branch. For more information on the Toys for Tots program, please go to http://www.toysfortots.org/.
As a follow up to this program, First CornerStone Bank was proud to announce they were able to collect over 215 toys, with our Ridley Branch having the highest collection. Thank you for all your donations to help this wonderful program.

The employees of First CornerStone Bank’s Malvern Branch helped decorate the town of Malvern for the Holiday Season. Brian, Rianne, John, Michael, and Paul all volunteered their time on the weekend to hang holiday wreaths intertwined with bright, white lights along King Street on Saturday, November 19th. With their help, King Street in Malvern is saturated with the beautiful look and feel of the Holiday Season.

For our 9th consecutive year of participation, First CornerStone Bank was the lead sponsor of the Media 5 Mile Race. This year, we were proud to have two people running in the race representing First CornerStone Bank. Joining 1,500+ runners, Alex Jones and Bridget Wheatley did a great job while sporting FCSB t-shirts. Over fifteen employees also joined in support, by brightening up State Street with our festive FCSB balloons and cheering on our runners. Visit the Media 5 Mile Race’s Website for more details.

First CornerStone Bank has always placed a strong emphasis on community banking since our inception in 2000. Our local communities are an important facet of our business and as such we are continually looking for ways to lend our help and support.
Over the last few months, the Bank has obtained a number of properties in the greater Philadelphia area. Instead of liquidating these homes at depressed prices and driving down home values for both the Bank and the local neighborhood, First CornerStone has chosen to put a number of these residences to better use.
In January 2011, the Bank offered one of our properties to a deserving family on a rent-free basis through a partnership with the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House and St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children. This family in need moved in during the month of February.
First CornerStone Bank will continue to explore other opportunities to provide one or two additional properties for this cause. We are very excited to be able to give back to the community and to turn a situation from bad to good.

First CornerStone Bank employees continued their participation the in Daffodil Days program, one of the American Cancer Society’s oldest and most beloved fundraising programs.
In addition to raising funds for the treatment of cancer, Daffodil Days continues to increase public awareness of one of the top health concerns of our country today. With this program, those who donate receive daffodil flowers in return for their contribution. These flowers are given by the bunch, by the vase, and by the pot, in order to share them with family and friends touched by cancer.
First CornerStone Bank is proud to be able to join the American Cancer Society in the fight against this disease.

This winter, First CornerStone Bank participated in the Greater Philadelphia Cares Winter Coat Drive Program. All branches served as a collection and drop off site for “gently used” winter coats from January 1st thru the 18th. Despite this being the first year the Bank participated in the program, the turnout was far more successful than expected. Thanks to the donations from customers, employees and friends, a total of 44 winter coats were donated to the program partner, the Saint Vincent DePaul Society. Thank you to all who helped to make Philadelphia a little warmer this winter!
