Supporting military families starts with showing up for the moments that matter. We are proud to support Operation Homefront, one of our America 250 grant recipients, and its mission to serve military families in our communities. Recently, our associates volunteered at Operation Homefront’s Back-to-School Brigade in Oak Harbor, where 200 military children received backpacks, school supply kits and Walmart gift cards to help them start the school year with confidence. Families also enjoyed complimentary admission to the Pacific Northwest Naval Air Museum. We’re grateful for the opportunity to support and serve alongside organizations like Operation Homefront as they make a meaningful difference for military families across our region. Member FDIC

That’s a wrap on an incredible summer internship program. Throughout the summer, our interns brought curiosity, fresh ideas and a strong desire to learn to teams across the bank. It’s been rewarding to see them grow, build connections and gain hands-on experience that will serve them well in their careers. To close out the program, our interns joined Columbia Bank’s executive team for a special lunch, then spent the day volunteering with the Emergency Food Network of Tacoma. It was a meaningful opportunity to reflect, connect with leaders and give back to the communities we serve. Thank you to each of our interns for the energy, ideas and impact you've made this summer. We can't wait to see where your journeys take you next! Member FDIC
