BCTCares Foundation, established by BCT-Bank of Charles Town (NASDAQ: PTBS), has launched its annual "Pack the 'Pack" campaign with a goal of raising $100,000 to support food-insecure children. The campaign, running from July 1 through August 31, 2025, aims to feed over 6,000 local children during summer break and school weekends for the 2025-2026 school year.

The initiative partners with four local backpack food charities across West Virginia, Maryland, and Virginia. According to CEO Alice Frazier, the program, which began in 2019, has consistently surpassed its goals despite increasing needs due to inflationary pressures on food prices. Donations can be made at BCT branch locations or through their website.
