HYPERION BANK WITH LOCAL BUSINESS & COMMUNITY GROUPS
SUPPORT 26TH POLICE DISTRICT IN HOLIDAY FOOD DRIVE
Phila., PA – This holiday season, local families and senior citizens in need will enjoy turkey
dinners with all the trimmings thanks to the combined efforts of the 26th Police District, Hyperion
Bank, Kensington South Neighborhood Advisory Council (KSNAC), Girard Business & Arts
Association (GBAA) and Northern Liberties Business Owners Association (NLBOA).
Working with Community Relations Officer, P/O Annamae Law, Hyperion Bank and KSNAC
pulled together to collect non-perishable foods and raise money for the purchase of turkeys. The
Bank’s employees donated their own money, which the Bank matched dollar-for-dollar. GBAA
and NLBOA each donated $100. “We are overwhelmed by Hyperion Bank’s efforts to assist us
in raising so much. We have enough to help us do food baskets with turkeys for Thanksgiving
and still have funds left over for the Christmas holidays. That’s a lot of turkey”, stated P/O
Annamae Law.
“As a community bank it is important for us to reach out and touch our local residents and be
actively involved in our neighborhood, especially when there is so much need right here in our
own backyard. Being the neighborhood’s premier community bank means finding ways to give
back to those we serve”, stated Joe Matisoff, president & CEO of Hyperion Bank.
Hyperion Bank is the first community bank to locate in the urban part of Philadelphia in more
than 20 years. Restored to its original 1871 grandeur, the stately 11,000 square-foot
headquarters and first branch, located at 2nd Street and Girard Avenue, is a signature footprint
in the area’s urban revitalization. This site was chosen because of its extensive residential
redevelopment, expanding small businesses and deep-rooted neighborhood residents.
Hyperion is a full service retail and commercial bank. Its website is www.HyperionBank.com.
