Black Hills Community Bank is encouraging its employees to support local non-profit organizations! On Wednesday, July 13, Leslie Rodriguez, a Credit Analyst from Black Hills Community Bank, donated $1,000 to Youth & Family Services Girls Inc. of Rapid City through the bank’s Pass It On program.

Under the bank’s Pass It On program, qualifying employees are awarded $1,000 to contribute to a local Black Hills community non-profit organization. The bank’s employees become ambassadors for the bank with their gift. Since Pass It On was originated in 2010, more than $114,000 has been donated by Community Bankers.

This is the second year in a row that Leslie has chosen to donate her Pass It On funds to YFS Girls Inc.

“I originally thought of Girls Inc. because my daughter goes there. It’s just an awesome program and my daughter really loves it. I thought it would be nice to be able to support the other girls who attend the program,” stated Leslie.

Leslie has also supported Youth & Family Services through volunteerism.
