Exchange Bank is more than just a financial institution - it's a vital community member committed to giving back and positively impacting the lives of our customers and neighbors. From supporting local non-profit organizations to sponsoring community events, Exchange Bank is dedicated to helping improve the quality of life for everyone in the communities it serves.

Exchange Bank had the opportunity to extend a helping hand to 11 families enrolled in the Ocmulgee Family Dependency Treatment Court's (FDTC) program. We donated Kroger gift cards to support these families on their journey towards positive change.
The FDTC is a beacon of hope, breaking the cycle of addiction and neglect within families. By holding parents accountable for their actions, the FDTC creates a path to healing and prosperity. Our small donation may be a drop in the bucket, but we hope it helps ease a bit of the financial burden these families may face during the holiday season.

Exchange Bank is honored to contribute $10,000 to the Jones County School System through the PEACH Education Tax Credit Program. This program allows Georgia taxpayers to support public education and students while receiving a dollar-for-dollar state tax credit. We hope other businesses will join us in supporting local education.

Exchange Bank had a fantastic time participating in the Georgia District Exchange Club’s Annual Golf Tournament. The funds raised from this event help to prevent child abuse, a cause close to our hearts. While there wasn't a car won with a hole in one, we truly enjoyed supporting this important cause and being part of a wonderful day!
Exchange Bank's Sr. Vice President, Terry Kennedy, volunteered at Lakeview Academy for the annual “Read for the Record” literacy event by reading “With Lots of Love”, a beautiful story about family, finding ways to stay connected, and sharing love across distances today. Jumpstart’s “Read for the Record” is the world’s largest shared reading experience, which celebrates and supports children’s early language and social-emotional development.
Exchange Bank celebrated National First Responders Day by honoring our local heroes. We hosted a special luncheon to show our appreciation for their tireless dedication and bravery.

We're thrilled to share that we collectively donated 38 units of blood to the American Red Cross.
Exchange Bank had a great time volunteering at the John Milledge Academy's Reality Check program, presented by the Milledgeville-Baldwin County Chamber of Commerce.
