Northwest Cares

Commitment To Our Communities
The employees at Northwest Bank participate in a program called Northwest Cares, a benevolent fund started in 1994. They donate their own money to this program, that the Bank then matches, which is designed to help individuals with specific needs through referrals. The mission of Northwest Cares is “To extend a helping hand, through donations, to those with special needs in our communities.”
