give. serve. unite.
Kindness has a way of bringing people together, but especially during the Christmas season. The Spirit of giving started with our founder, Ray M. Bain and is part of the First United Bank culture. Please join us as we unite in performing random acts of generosity to lift the spirits of fellow West Texans.
“Whatever you give you will receive back many times over.” Ray M. Bain, Founder
join us in sharing the spirit of generosity.
In the Spirit of Generosity, we believe that no act of kindness is too small to make a difference.
Give
We do more and give more than simply making a profit requires because we’re only as strong as the people and communities we serve. Join us in giving to those in need this holiday season.
Serve
We routinely donate our time and talent to causes and organizations that align with our values and help sustain and build the communities we serve. This holiday season, join us in making every moment of service count.
Unite
Kindness has a way of bringing people together. Gather your family and friends and join us in sharing the Spirit of Generosity this Christmas season. United, we can make a meaningful difference for others in the communities we love.
Generosity in action.
Each year more than 200 First United Bank STARS have the opportunity to share the Spirit of Generosity by performing random acts of kindness in the communities we serve. Since 2014, we have performed more than 467 random acts of kindness and given $400,000 to hundreds of individuals and families across West Texas.
