Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion

Mid Penn Bank is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace.

We implement inclusive hiring practices, intentionally seeking diverse talent at all levels of employment.

Employees are offered education and resources to cultivate an inclusive working environment where all feel valued and heard.

MPB builds likeminded community partnerships to address economic needs for all our neighbors regardless of race, gender, religion, or disability.

Affordable Housing

The correlation between homeownership and strong, thriving communities is undeniable. More opportunities for affordable housing and an increase in homeownership can lead to enhanced employment access, population diversity, a revitalized local economy and more. Mid Penn Bank strives to see each of its local communities experience these benefits and understands its crucial role in seeing this vision come to fruition. From the ground up, MPB team members are working to get more neighbors into safe and affordable homes.

These initiatives include:

KEEPING CUSTOMERS INFORMED of the latest mortgage and loan programs, such as the PHFA and First Front Door.

CREATING LASTING PARTNERSHIPS with nonprofits like Tri County Housing Development Corporation to provide first time homebuyer programs to our unbanked and underserved neighbors.

SUPPORTING LOW TO MODERATE INCOME HOUSING VENTURES through investments, special financing, and the Pennsylvania Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP).

VOLUNTEERING FOR ORGANIZATIONS which offer affordable housing options, teach financial literacy courses, and combat homelessness.

Economic Development and Community Revitalization

Mid Penn Bank works toward community development from the ground up by funding projects and programming which facilitate economic growth and revitalization of our local communities. Our support of the Hamilton Health Center, Steelton, PA, showcases the commitment we have to our local communities. The medical center’s newest satellite location will include medical exam rooms, administrative offices, and clinical spaces to support Hamilton Health’s primary care, mental health, substance abuse and WIC program services. Mid Penn Bank believes in the opportunity this facility will bring to the community of Steelton and was instrumental in getting this project off the ground through special financing.

Education and Workforce Development

Access to a quality education can significantly increase chances for a financially secure future. That is why we invest heavily in local educational programming. Last year, Mid Penn Bank contributed more than $833,000 to educational institutions and curricula through the Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program. Recipient organizations use the funds to make critical upgrades to the overall educational experience they provide.

Financial Education

As a community bank, we recognize our role in introducing financial concepts to all age groups and demographics. Providing our neighbors and local students with the proper tools for financial confidence can help transform the future of our local communities.

Funding Essential Needs

Over the last year, Mid Penn Bank has committed more than $80,000 to various local organizations assisting the food insecure. Not only do we contribute financially to these programs, but we also make sure to lend a hand in the preparation and distribution of food. Helping our neighbors gain access to healthy food on a regular basis is important to us, and aids in the overall wellbeing of our local communities. Throughout 2022 Mid Penn Bank supported several food banks, weekend food programs for school students, distributed food to local veterans, and served warm meals at LGBT centers.

Volunteerism

We take pride in making a meaningful difference in the communities we live and work. Our employees are encouraged to participate in bank wide volunteer initiatives as well as causes they are personally passionate about. Over the course of a year, 361 Mid Penn Bank colleagues invested more than 10,000 hours, volunteering for more than 3,000 volunteer activities including:

Packing and organizing food for local food banks

Repairing bicycles

Teaching seminars for various affordable housing organizations

Leading Junior Achievement exercises in classrooms across central Pennsylvania

Coaching youth sports

Serving meals at shelters

Together, these efforts create a sustainable impact in neighborhoods across our footprint.

Health and Wellness

While Mid Penn Bank has always supported local health and wellness initiatives, 2023 was a particularly exciting year for two of its major campaigns — The Mid Penn Bank Celebrity Golf Tournament, supporting breast cancer research, and the No Shave November campaign, supporting prostate cancer research. Both have seen unprecedented growth in scale and community support. This progress can be credited to the entire MPB organization, many of whom participate through personal fundraising and awareness efforts.

CELEBRITY GOLF TOURNAMENT

Due to the overwhelming success of the Celebrity Golf Tournament, Mid Penn Bank was able to donate a total of $200,000 to the Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition and the Basser Center for BRCA at Penn Medicine. In conjunction with the golf tournament, Team MPB also hosted the Project Pink volunteer event. There, family and friends lovingly packed care packages for breast cancer patients.

NO SHAVE NOVEMBER

Last August, Mid Penn Bank announced a new goal for its partnership with Penn State Health — to raise $1.1 million over the next four years in the name of men’s health and prostate cancer research through its annual No Shave November Campaign. To mark the occasion, Penn State Health renamed its second-floor outpatient clinic for Mid Penn Bank. Among other benefits, this commitment supports advancements in patient care and diagnosis, and free prostate cancer screenings for local community members. In November of 2023, Mid Penn Bank raised $341,000, putting the Bank on track to meet its four-year goal.
