The holiday season is a time for giving, sharing, and spreading joy to those around us. At First Freedom Bank, we are proud to be part of the Wilson County community and to support initiatives that positively impact the lives of our neighbors. One initiative that brings us great joy is the Wilson County Christmas for All event, which provides toys to children in need, ensuring a Merry Christmas for everyone.

Team members Tatum Ortlepp, Retail Banking Sales Manager, Sheila Ferrell, Senior Vice President and Managerial Lender, and Christy Trammel, Administrative Assistant, Holly Wolfe, Lebanon Personal Banker, Alexia Borrero, Lebanon FSR II, Blake Smith, Accounting Clerk, and Kayla Ring, Assistant VP & Construction Manager each volunteered their time to contribute to the effort of providing gifts to over 2,000 children in need.
