On Tuesday, June 2, KeyBank proudly celebrated its 35th annual Neighbors Make the Difference Day, a signature day of service that brings teammates together to support the communities they call home. Over 100 KeyBank teammates in Idaho rolled up their sleeves and volunteered alongside local nonprofit partners at 26 projects throughout the region.
In Idaho, teammates joined thousands of colleagues across the country who receive paid time off to volunteer in the neighborhoods where they live and work. Neighbors Make the Difference Day honors KeyBank’s more than 200 years of service and reflects its ongoing commitment to strengthening communities, supporting neighbors and making a positive difference — together.
Local Neighbors Make the Difference Day Project locations included Community Food Basket, Magic Valley Area Humanitarian Center, Teton Valley Food Pantry, Treasure Valley United Way Children’s Book Drive and others.
KeyBank teammates built playgrounds, painted homes, refreshed community gardens, cleaned up parks and supported local organizations. At select sites, teammates also hosted financial education workshops to help neighbors build confidence and tools for their financial futures.
“Neighbors Make the Difference Day is one of the most meaningful days of the year for our teammates,” said Scott Schlange, KeyBank Idaho Market president. “It’s an opportunity to give back to the communities we care so deeply about and to show up as neighbors — not just bankers. Communities thrive when volunteers unite, and we’re proud to invest our time, talent, and heart into Idaho and help brighten lives in ways that truly matter.”
Neighbors Make the Difference Day began in 1991, when a small group of KeyBank teammates in Alaska came together to volunteer in their community. Just two years later, the program expanded across the company, becoming an official day of service. Today, it stands as one of the nation’s leading corporate volunteer initiatives and a powerful example of how collective action can strengthen communities.
