September 23, 2026, Sentinel News, First Financial to host Shelbyville Food Drive in October

First Financial Bank and its associates strive to be outstanding community partners through the food drive and other initiatives. First Financial is now in the third year of its $2.573 billion, five-year Community Benefits Agreement with the National Community Reinvestment Coalition and partner organizations, and has already committed 62 percent of its goal. This goal increased from $2.4 billion to account for the new communities served by First Financial following the Westfield Bank and BankFinancial acquisitions. First Financial has also earned two consecutive Outstanding ratings, the highest possible rating, for its performance under the Community Reinvestment Act. Additionally, last year, First Financial Bank and associates teamed up to donate $4.6 million to local organizations throughout its five-state footprint of Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan and Illinois, through its broad philanthropy initiatives.
