 Starting from its first year of business, Bank of the Orient has actively provided staff time, moral support, and financial assistance to a variety of community organizations, with an initial focus on those serving Asian-Americans. In San Francisco, California, for example, the Bank was an early supporter of Chinese Hospital, and it provided an important loan to On Lok Senior Health Services to enable it to purchase its first facility. |
|
Over the years, Bank of the Orient has continued this tradition of neighborhood involvement. Our main areas of interest are groups that assist the elderly to lead active and independent lives; organizations that serve economically underprivileged youth; and groups building affordable housing for low-income families. |
