Fifth Third Bank just completed its 2010 eBus Tour that lasted from Aug.12 through Aug. 21. Having outreached to more than 700 area residents, the 2010 tour was a hands-down success. The bus visited eight area communities and provided information and resources that included free credit reports, credit counseling, information on how to sign up for home heating assistance and home heating credits, access to free legal services and provided free dental exams and preventive care for children under 18 years of age.
We thank everyone who visited the bus and took advantage of the resources provided by for- profit and nonprofit organizations, state and city human service agencies and the community partners listed below who teamed up with Fifth Third Bank for the 2010 eBus Tour. The dedication, hard work and “all hands on deck” attitude of the partner organizations who provided their expertise made it possible to extend our outreach efforts to so many people.
