Nashville, TENN. – December 15, 2025 – What began as a special way to celebrate Volunteer Bank’s 45th anniversary in 2022 has grown into a meaningful annual tradition that reflects the heart of the bank and its commitment to community. Each year, the bank adopts one Angel Tree recipient for every year of its service, turning milestones into moments of generosity that directly support children and families in need. In 2025, Volunteer Bank’s team adopted 48 angels, each representing another year of service and another opportunity to make a difference for children and families across Middle Tennessee.

From thoughtfully selecting gifts to carefully bundling each package, Volunteer Bank team members approach the Angel Tree initiative with genuine care and compassion. Employees across the bank unite around a shared purpose to ensure each child experiences the joy and magic of the holiday season. These efforts are a meaningful reminder that the holidays are about more than celebration—they are about connection, kindness, and giving back to neighbors in meaningful ways.

“Partnering with The Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program enables our team to put our values into meaningful action at a time when support can have a profound impact,” said Tony Gregory, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Volunteer Bank. “At Volunteer, our responsibility to serve our neighbors extends well beyond banking. This tradition underscores who we are as a community bank—guided by compassion, service, and purpose.”

The Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program provides holiday assistance by matching donors with gift requests for children and families in need.

“Angel Tree reflects our mission in action—serving families with love, dignity and hope,” said Major Stephanie Mockabee, Nashville area commander for The Salvation Army. “Through the dedication of volunteers and the support of corporate partners, like Volunteer Bank, this program becomes a powerful example of what our community can accomplish together.”

Volunteer Bank has served Middle Tennessee communities for nearly five decades and continues to support initiatives that strengthen families and foster meaningful community connections.
