Community Impact

Investing in Our Community

The benefit of any good business doesn’t stop at commitment to clients. At Riggs, we’re dedicated to seeing our community grow. That’s why we volunteer our time and other resources to make our neighborhoods better. Our team members help lead numerous local organizations, including the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Business and Industry, the Family Business Alliance and the Luzerne County Historical Society. In 2019, we financially supported 28 important regional organizations, groups that have a proven track record of doing good for their communities. We don’t just work here, we live here, too, and we’re committed to protecting and improving our great region for future generations.
