Independence Bank’s Day of Good Brings Volunteers Together Across Kentucky

By VOICE-TRIBUNE 

Independence Bank is showing once again that small acts of kindness can make a big difference. Its second annual Day of Good, which launched on September 5, 2025 in Owensboro, has already brought together more than 425 volunteers from the bank and surrounding communities to lend a hand across 15 counties in Kentucky. 

The Day of Good isn’t just a single day of service; it’s a six-week initiative designed to support local organizations and neighborhoods through meaningful, hands-on projects. Volunteers have spent the past few weeks cheering on athletes at the Special Olympics Kentucky state softball tournament, building and delivering beds for children and seniors, preparing meals, and helping with repairs that improve daily life for families in need. 

A highlight of this year’s initiative was the bank’s support of the Special Olympics softball tournament in Owensboro. Volunteers helped ensure the event ran smoothly and that athletes had the resources they needed to compete and celebrate their achievements. The effort underscored a larger message of the Day of Good: supporting communities isn’t just about tangible projects; it’s about creating spaces where everyone feels included and valued. 

Volunteers also tackled practical, neighborhood-level needs. Through a longstanding partnership with the Warren County Housing Authority, they built and delivered beds for children and seniors, bringing comfort to families who needed it most. Other projects included meal preparation for local first responders and nonprofits, as well as essential home repairs, showing that even small acts of service can have a meaningful impact. 

What makes the Day of Good truly special is how it brings people together. Employees and community members worked side by side, strengthening connections and building friendships while helping their neighbors. The program demonstrates that giving back is not only about helping others; it’s about building stronger, more connected communities. 

The initiative will continue through October 18, with the bulk of volunteer efforts taking place on September 20. By the time the Day of Good wraps up, Independence Bank will have helped improve homes, provided meals, delivered beds, and shown hundreds of volunteers the power of lending a hand. 

Through this ongoing effort, Independence Bank is proving that doing good doesn’t have to be complicated. A willing heart, a few helping hands, and a commitment to community can leave a lasting impact and inspire others to do the same.
