Page 8 THE VILLADOM TIMES I • December 10, 2014 Paterson Habitat for Humanity gets help from ASB Douglas Olsen, ASB vice president and regional branch manager; Judy Keyes, ASB training & CRA officer; Barbara Dunn, executive director, Paterson Habitat for Humanity; and Andrea Brescia, grant writer and special projects, Paterson Habitat for Humanity. Atlantic Stewardship Bank recently joined the Paterson Habitat for Humanity at its Fall Corporate Reception in celebration of its corporate partners. The reception honored the 2014 participants of the Corporate Challenge, Summer Internship Pro- gram, and NRTC Investors. The Paterson Habitat for Humanity creates home ownership opportunities for families with limited incomes. They are committed to building decent, safe affordable homes that are energy effi- cient, environmentally responsible, and economi- cal to maintain. Atlantic Stewardship Bank’s support of the Paterson Habitat for Humanity is part of a unique tithing program that defines the bank’s mission. The bank has supported the Paterson Habitat since 1999. Since the bank began in 1985, the tithing program has resulted in donations in excess of $8 million. “Tithing is a biblical principle, meaning to give or devote one-tenth to God,” said Atlantic Stew- ardship Bank President and CEO Paul Van Osten- bridge. “The thought of a bank giving away ten percent of its profits each year is highly unusual, especially in the current economy. Our founders were so deeply committed to using a portion of profits to serve those in need that the tithing pro- gram is incorporated into our bylaws.” Atlantic Stewardship Bank maintains bank- ing locations in Midland Park, Montville, North Haledon, Pequannock, Ridgewood, Waldwick, Westwood, Wyckoff, Hawthorne, and Wayne. Established in 1985, ASB is a full-service commu- nity bank serving both individuals and businesses. Visit www.asbnow.com to learn more.
