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:
“Human life in common is only made possible when a majority comes together which is stronger than any separate individual and which remains united against all separate individuals. The power of this community is then set up as “right” in opposition to the power of the individual, which is condemned as “brute force.””
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“The mother whose self-image is dependent on her children places on those children the responsibility for her own identity, and her involvement in the details of their lives can put great pressure on the children. A child suffers when everything he or she does is extremely important to a parent; this kind of over-involvement can turn even a small problem into a crisis.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
