Bank of North Georgia Hosting Toy Drive

The North Fulton-based financial institution collected more than 2,700 toys in last year's drive.

North Fulton Community Charities and the Child Development Association are among the organizations that will benefit from a holiday toy drive at Bank of North Georgia branches in the metro area, including Johns Creek.

BNG and Bank of Coweta are hosting a Holiday Toy Drive from Nov. 25-Dec. 16 at all 46 branches in metro Atlanta. Bank officials say 2,787 toys were collected last year in the toy drive.

“Bank of North Georgia is very much at the heart of community life in Metro Atlanta, supporting those institutions and programs that make the communities we serve desirable places to live and work. Our branch teams are excited to embrace a local charity this season by collecting new, unwrapped toys to help local families. We are hoping that all children will have a joyous holiday this year,” said Don Howard, chairman and CEO of Bank of North Georgia, which is headquartered in Alpharetta.
