HNB Celebrates 190 Years with Community-Wide Sweepstakes and “Feed the Need” Initiative

– For 190 years, The Honesdale National Bank (HNB) has been privileged to grow alongside the people, businesses, and communities it serves. As the Bank marks this historic milestone in 2026, HNB is inviting customers, employees, and community members throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania to join in a celebration centered on giving back, strengthening connections, and making a meaningful impact together.

The Bank’s 190 and Counting Sweepstakes serves as the centerpiece of the anniversary celebration, giving participants the opportunity to enter for a chance to win a $1,900 grand prize while also supporting HNB’s Feed the Need Food Drive. Through the initiative from October 1 – November 21, 2026, HNB aims to collect 190 boxes of food for local pantries, helping neighbors facing food insecurity across the communities the Bank proudly calls home.

“Reaching 190 years is a remarkable achievement, but this milestone is about much more than our history,” said Kate Bryant, President and CEO of The Honesdale National Bank. “It is a celebration of the people who have made HNB what it is today.  Our employees, customers, shareholders, and community members are at the heart of our longevity and overall success. For generations, we have been fortunate to build meaningful relationships throughout our region, and we believe the best way to honor that legacy is by giving back together. Through the 190 and Counting Sweepstakes and Feed the Need Food Drive, we are turning our anniversary into an opportunity to support our neighbors and strengthen the communities we proudly serve.

The anniversary campaign reflects HNB’s core values of Heart and Humanity, Nurturing Community, Brave Integrity, Meaningful Relationships, and Elevating Together. These values have guided the Bank for nearly two centuries and continue to shape how HNB serves its customers and supports local organizations, businesses, and families.

Community members can participate in multiple ways, including submitting a sweepstakes entry by contributing food donations at local HNB offices. Every food donation helps advance the Bank’s goal of providing 190 boxes of food to area pantries, demonstrating the power of collective action and community partnership.

“Whether someone has banked with us for decades, joined us recently, works for our organization, or simply lives in one of the communities we serve, this celebration belongs to all of us,” Bryant added. “Together, we can make our 190th anniversary a meaningful reflection of the relationships that have sustained HNB for generations and will continue to shape a strong future for our communities.” To learn more about the 190 and Counting Sweepstakes, view official rules, and submit an entry, visit: www.hnbbank.bank/190
