Last week, Oxford Bank employees donated a total of $1,700 to two very deserving local charities.
Using money raised through the bank’s ‘Dress Down for Charity? program, the 173 employees voted to donate $850 to HAVEN and $850 to Habitat for Humanity of Oakland County.
The ‘Dress Down? program allows bank employees the opportunity to donate at least $1 to chairty in exchange for dressing in casual attire on the fourth Friday of each month. The $1,700 raised represents money donated during the 2005 fiscal year.

A non-profit organization, HAVEN has been serving local communities for more than 31 years with program sites in Pontiac, Southfield, Famington, Royal Oak and Bloomfield Hills.
