I am grateful to be a part of this community that feeds the hungry, shelters those in need, educates our youth and so much more,” said Jimmy Burke, President of Community Bank of the Chesapeake. “We look forward to our Casual for a Cause giving every year, but especially in these challenging times – it has been amazing watching community members step up in a time of need and we’re proud to be a part of that.”
