Harford Bank is bringing back its Golden Angel Tree initiative, aimed at bringing happiness and warmth to the elderly residents of our local nursing home this holiday season.
Our Golden Angel Trees are adorned with angels representing the wishes of nursing home or elder care residents who may not otherwise receive gifts during the holidays. We invite our customers and community members to visit any of our branches, pick an angel from the tree, and purchase a gift for the person they choose. 
How It Works:&nbsp;
<ol>
 <li>Visit Harford Bank: Stop any of our branches to see the Angel Trees. Find us in Aberdeen, Abingdon, Bel Air, Elkton, Havre de Grace, Hickory, Jarrettsville, Joppa.</li>
 <li>Pick an Angel: Select an angel from the tree, each representing a unique gift wish from a resident.</li>
 <li>Purchase a Gift: Buy the gift listed on the angel.</li>
 <li>Return the Gift: Bring the present back to the bank in a gift bag (with the Angel 's included) by December the 15th. </li>
</ol>
Harford Bank is committed to fostering a spirit of giving and community support. We believe that small acts of kindness can have a profound impact, and we encourage everyone to participate in this heartwarming tradition.
&ldquo;This program is a wonderful way for our community to come together and make a meaningful difference in the lives of our elderly neighbors,&rdquo; said Amanda Parsons, Branch Manager, Jarrettsville.
