Giving to the Community

Part of a community bank is being part of...the community! At Charter Oak Bank, we value our community, knowing the importance of giving back and being involved. Our employees are committed to be personally involved in one or more community organizations, and many have held leadership positions for years. Through this commitment, we now work with over 50 local non-profits, sit on 20 boards and provide over 3,500 hours of service to our community annually.We are passionate about what makes our community better and are always ready and willing to encourage our customers to get involved. A strong, healthy community is beneficial to all its members.


During the Holidays, we all seem to become more keenly aware of the needs of so many in our community. As part of our ongoing support of the community, we have placed food barrels in each of our branches to collect non-perishable food items for the Salvation Army Food Pantry. This holiday season, more than ever, we are in a state of significant need. We encourage you to stop by either of our branches to drop a can or two, some dry pasta or other items in the barrel. Every little bit helps, and together we can really make a difference in the lives of many of our friends and neighbors. We appreciate the opportunity to give back to the community in this and other ways throughout the year, and it is also gratifying to see the participation of so many of our employees, friends and customers.


As we reflect on the past year, Charter Oak Bank has been honored to support many local organizations - the breadth of which are listed on our website. A strong, healthy community is beneficial to all its members, and we are thankful to be part of a Napa Valley Community that really cares. Thanks to the many friends, customers and associates who also give so much to make this Valley such a fantastic place to live!


Happy Thanksgiving from all of us here at Charter Oak Bank...
