First Community Bank’s School Spirit Debit Card Program has reached a significant milestone by giving back over $100,000 to our local schools. This achievement demonstrates our commitment to supporting education and investing in the future of our community.

Since the launch of the program, we have seen an overwhelming response from students, parents, and the community. By using our School Spirit Debit Card, consumers have been able to support our local schools while also enjoying the convenience and benefits of a debit card.

The success of this program would not have been possible without the support of our community. We would like to thank everyone who has participated in the program and helped us reach this milestone. We look forward to continuing to support education and giving back to our schools through this program.

If you haven’t already, we encourage you to sign up for a School Spirit Debit Card and join us in supporting education in our community. Together, we can make a difference and continue to make a positive impact on the future of our schools.

"The School Spirit Debit Card program has resulted in significant support for Bedford County Schools. It’s amazing to see how much a few cents from every swipe builds up over time – over $100,000 since 2017! And at no cost to the debit card holder. We are excited to see how much more we can do in the coming years! We are very grateful to our partner First Community Bank for their philosophy of giving back to the community and their commitment to our students and educators. After all, together we can do so much more."
