We take personal responsibility for meeting our customers’ needs; respect the dignity of every individual; earn trust through ethical behavior; give of ourselves in the communities where we live and serve; and work together to achieve outstanding results.
The measure of our success as a company wouldn’t be as significant without this type of gratitude in action, and gratitude begins with the simple act of thinking of others before ourselves.
We believe a great way to foster gratitude is by volunteering, donating, promoting public health and racial equity, and increasing the availability of healthy foods and safe, comfortable shelter to those in need. While much of the work we do is in our home state of Wisconsin, our hope is that its reach is boundless, inspiring others to act in kind.
What our volunteers are saying
Working together with our customers and communities goes far beyond being your bank. To encourage our Bankers to give back to the community, we provide them with 24 hours of paid time off annually to volunteer to the organization of their choice.
"One of the greatest gifts we can give to others is our time and talent. Volunteering is also good for one’s own well-being as it gives us a sense of belonging while helping make a difference in people’s lives. I plan to use my full 16 hours of volunteer time off that is generously given by HSA Bank and continue to look for other ways to give back."
– Jolene R.
"I volunteered with the Junior Achievement virtual Speaker Series because I believe everyone has a responsibility to be an example. The next generation is so important to society. I wanted the Junior Achievement participants to understand that they should value their experiences, ask ‘the why’s’ appropriately, say no to comfort zones, educate themselves, and take responsibility. And if my experiences can help them leverage their gifts, become more resourceful, and just be authentic, then my participation was 100% worth it."
– Shay F.
"I love that HSA Bank supports our staff in giving back to our communities. Volunteering within our own neighborhoods is so impactful, especially when we can see the faces of those we have touched. When someone’s face lights up because of something we’ve done, it makes me want to volunteer even more."
– Michelle Z.
Where our volunteers are helping
Day of Caring
United Way of Sheboygan County pulled together teams to help over 60 non-profits in the area. Over 1000 volunteers helped provide services to these organizations. HSA Bank had teams at two locations: the Jaycee Dominion of Terror building the haunted house, the largest community fundraiser in the county. And a group at the Sheboygan Historical Museum prepped hands-on activity kits for the holiday festivals.
Painting at Feeding America
A team headed to Feeding America to help give their gloomy interior office space a much needed facelift. Creating an inviting environment will help their staff morale, and provide a great meeting spaces for their potential investors, as they continue the difficult work they do to provide nourishment to the Milwaukee residents.
Nourish Farms
Volunteers spent half the day at Nourish Farms in Sheboygan to prepare for their “Good Food Festival." This event serves as a fundraiser to help Nourish continue its efforts to promote healthy, sustainable food production and consumption within the community. The HSA Bank team created center pieces, gardened, prepared food and set up the fine dining reception area.
Feeding America
HSA Bank spent the day at Feeding America in Milwaukee sorting out thousands of pounds of canned food items to later be distribute throughout the community.
A Million Dreamz
This organization provides 24/7 daycare 365 days a year to help families in need with non-traditional working hours, opening up employment options for those who desperately need it. No other center in the county provides this service. The building was going through major renovations to meet code requirements and expand usable space within the building to increase their child care capacity. Our team helped paint several classrooms and connecting hallways to help meet those requirements.
Battle of the Banks
Salvation Army hosts an annual competition of local financial institutions to see who can collect the most donations in a single day. HSA Bank has remained in the top three spots for this great fundraiser for over a decade. Our volunteers braved the weather in festive gear, and HSA Bank also contributed a matching donation, furthering our impact on the community.
