A Little Savings Goes a Long Way with World Relief and Community Bank

› August 2010

Burmese refugee John Liang Thang of Glen Ellyn had a good job at a local company, but his family had a problem: They needed a car for John to get to work.

Their problem was solved with the IDA Savings Program of World Relief DuPage/Aurora and Community Bank. We provide this special account and help educate participants on the banking system while World Relief provides a matching contribution for the deposits the Thang family makes. Employment assistance is a core service World Relief provides to more than 500 refugees annually.

Result: John and his family saved enough money to buy the car they need.

“When we looked for a reliable financial institution to partner with, we felt Community Bank was the best in the area for the vulnerable populations we serve. Because they are locally owned and operated, we enjoy a partnership with them that is all-too-rare these days…one in which there is meaningful person-to-person collaboration,” said Adam Beyer, Director of World Relief Employment Services.

Whether your needs are personal banking or business banking, Community Bank Wheaton/Glen Ellyn is committed to providing the best in professional and personalized service. Why not get the Community Advantage?
