Let’s build something together

Across the state of Ohio, Bank of America is focused on addressing the needs of our customers, clients, employees and communities. Each member of our team is here to listen and learn what is most important to our clients. And then we try to help them reach their goals. This past year has been extraordinarily challenging, but we continued to open new retail banking locations and hire talented people to serve our customers’ banking needs, all the while supporting our communities. We’ve partnered with nonprofits that help our neighbors most in need. We’ve provided personal protection equipment for first responders, frontline workers and others to ensure our communities’ safety. Workforce development and skill building, notably in communities of color, continues to be one of our primary areas of support, with career-pathway partnerships at local colleges and nonprofit organizations.

DFS Columbus goes mobile to expand reach

Since 2007, Dress for Success Columbus has empowered more than 10,000 women, providing them with resources to put them on a career path towards economic independence. But transportation challenges for clients who reside outside of Columbus prevented many women from attending their appointments. To help, DFS Columbus established the Mobile Career Center, which brings resources to women in need throughout Columbus.
