Northwest Bank Donates Eight Buses Worth of Toys During 96.1 KISS FM
Pittsburgh, PA (December 8, 2025): Northwest Bank proudly participated in the 96.1 KISS FM’s Stuff A Bus campaign benefiting the Marine Toys for Tots program. Northwest donated $19,000, equivalent to eight buses filled with toys, to support children in need.
“Every child should be able to experience the joy of a new toy during the holiday season,” said Reid Segar, district manager, Northwest Bank. “Through our partnership with the Stuff-a-Bus campaign, Northwest can help make that happen while easing the financial burden for families.”
Along with the donation, 10 Northwest employees volunteered their time packing donated toys, reinforcing the bank’s commitment to making a difference in the communities it serves.
“Being part of this effort, surrounded by community partners, volunteers, and the energy of giving, was an incredible experience,” said Julie Rice, Northwest Bank financial center manager. “I’m grateful to work for an organization that shows up, serves, and puts heart into everything we do.”
