Community Outreach

Since 1971, Benchmark Community Bank has been dedicated to enriching the quality of life in the communities we serve. Whether helping an entrepreneur plant a new business or expand an existing one, working to make the next event the best it can be, or investing in an organization building a local must-do, Benchmark is focused on helping hometowns thrive.  

We play a part in the economic health of every community we serve by loaning out locally deposited dollars. Through donations, sponsorships, volunteer hours, and other creative efforts, the bank supports the civic, youth, and economic development organizations that make a difference in our Southside Virginia-northern North Carolina footprint. Our sincere desire is to help our communities be successful.

Each year, Benchmark employees collectively give thousands of hours volunteering in the community. Many of them hold officer-level positions in the organizations to which they belong. Others regularly chair important community events like Relay for Life. Many employees with children serve as coaches for youth sports teams. Community is our middle name, and we try to live up to it every single day!
