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:
“The heroes of the world community are not those who withdraw when difficulties ensue, not those who can envision neither the prospect of success nor the consequence of failure—but those who stand the heat of battle, the fight for world peace through the United Nations.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
“Not only do our wives need support, but our children need our deep involvement in their lives. If this period [the early years] of primitive needs and primitive caretaking passes without us, it is lost forever. We can be involved in other ways, but never again on this profoundly intimate level.”
—Augustus Y. Napier (20th century)
