The Votes are In!

Every year we donate over $100,000 to organizations doing important work in the communities we serve. We support local causes in the areas of arts, education, youth development and helping folks in need. We do so, because this work is aligned with our values and also because big banks often don't support local activities.

Thank you to everyone who participated in our Community Giving Initiative! We are pleased to announce that the following organizations were the Top Ten vote getters in our latest Community Giving Initiative which means we will include them in our charitable giving this year: 1) River East School-to-Career, Inc., 2) Homefront Equestrians, 3) Link to Libraries, 4) Replanting Monson Tree Committee, 5) Monson Bellman Antique Fire Apparatus Club/Museum, 6) Blue Star Equiculture, 7) Scantic Valley YMCA, 8) Greene Room Productions, 9) Boy Scouts of Western Massachusetts, 10) Two Town Trolley

Almost 900 votes were cast for over 60 different organizations. It feels great to be part of such a wonderful community full of concerned, active and committed citizens!
