    Local Whitney Bank employees from two Central branches and the Baton Rouge market recently delivered carloads of toys to Journey Church for distribution to local families and children in need this holiday season. The toy drive is an annual event for the bank’s greater Baton Rouge area employees who contribute toys at their quarterly officers’ meeting held at the Louisiana State Police Headquarters in Baton Rouge.  
    “Whitney Bank takes pride in giving back to the communities in which they serve,” said local Hooper Road Branch Manager Stephen David. “It means a great deal that Tina, Terri, Lori (Bellingrath Branch Manager) and I can coordinate this effort to benefit Central families.” Tina Kaufman, Division Operations Manager in North Baton Rouge added, “Seeing the excitement in a child’s face opening presents on Christmas morning is a joyous occasion that every family should have. We see the struggle of many families who come through our branches, so any way we can help a family having trouble making ends meet this holiday season is a gift for us too.”
