Sunwest Bank is honored to be recognized as a Corporate Volunteer by Human Options at the 50th Annual OneOC Spirit of Volunteerism Awards on April 22. Human Options does meaningful work supporting survivors of relationship abuse, and we’re proud to partner with their team through both financial support and hands‑on volunteerism. A key focus of our involvement is providing financial literacy education to help women establish or reestablish financial independence. We extend our sincere thanks to Denise McCanless and Laurie Peterson for representing Sunwest Bank through their dedicated volunteer efforts and for making a positive impact in the lives of the women served by Human Options. #SunwestBank #CommunityImpact #Volunteerism #OneOC #HumanOptions #FinancialLiteracy #Volunteer #OrangeCounty
