Community Involvement
VIST Financial has served southeastern Pennsylvania for over 100 years and claims to be actively involved in the community. The company claims to works to promote literacy in children and adults and to provide donations to local non-profit organizations to enrich the community.
VIST Cares Initiatives Every month, VIST Financial employees who make donations for local charities can wear jeans on paydays. Charities vary each month and serve those in VIST's operating area.
The company also claims to have donated one of the largest contributions to the American Cancer Society of Southeastern Pennsylvania and, from October through December 2010, sold Cooking for a Cure cookbooks, which included recipes from VIST Financial customers and employees, to raise awareness for breast cancer research.
VIST Financial Plaza In February 2011, VIST Financial partnered with the Reading Phillies to construct the VIST Financial Plaza at the south end of the FirstEnergy Stadium, which was part of a $10 million renovation project. The plaza serves as a new entrance that features concession stands, a team store, and a stage for performances and autographs. VIST Financial Plaza will offer an enhanced game experience by providing additional food choices and live music before and after the game, and is also available year-round for other performances.
Best in Berks VIST Financial was voted the Best Banking Institution in the 2010 and 2011 editions of Best of Berks, an annual award given to companies with notable customer service from the local magazine Berks County Living.

Famous quotes containing the words community and/or involvement:
“I do not mean to imply that the good old days were perfect. But the institutions and structure—the web—of society needed reform, not demolition. To have cut the institutional and community strands without replacing them with new ones proved to be a form of abuse to one generation and to the next. For so many Americans, the tragedy was not in dreaming that life could be better; the tragedy was that the dreaming ended.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
“The glorious dream of full father involvement in infant care will not become a widespread reality overnight. But it can happen, and it eventually will happen,... A lot of progress may take place in a short period of time if we just lighten up, step back, and give the guys a decent chance.”
—Michael K. Meyerhoff (20th century)
