Suffolk employees volunteered at Boston Medical Center’s Food Pantry.
Bank of America
In partnership with New England Patriots wide receiver Matthew Slater and running back James White, Bank of America gave a $1 million to Cradles to Crayons. The money will support the organization’s capital campaign, “Forever Home” in Greater Boston, allowing C2C to custom-build a warehouse to better suit its needs, including greater flexibility and efficiencies, which will enable them to serve more children and families in the years to come.
Suffolk Construction
Employees of building contractor Suffolk assembled and delivered 800 Thanksgiving meals to Boston Medical Center’s Preventive Food Pantry for patients in need and their families.
South Shore Bank
Employees from South Shore Bank spent the day working on South Shore Habitat for Humanity’s six-unit, affordable housing subdivision in Duxbury on Nov. 28.
Middlesex Federal
For every toy collected at its three locations, Middlesex Federal will donate another toy, up to at least 125 additional toys. All toys will be distributed by the U.S. Marine Corps’ Toys for Tots program.
Cornerstone Bank
During the month of November, all branches of Cornerstone Bank collected nonperishable food items for its “Pack the Pantry” food drive. The annual drive gives an opportunity for customers, local community members and employees to contribute much needed food items to local families in need.
Newburyport Five Cents Savings Bank
Newburyport Five Cents Savings Bank donated its final gift of $50,000 to complete a $250,000 commitment to the Anna Jaques Hospital Birth Center in Newburyport. The center’s mission is to provide a family-centered focus on birth in a warm and nurturing environment.
North Shore Bank
North Shore Bank employees raised $1,137 to benefit the North Shore Habitat for Humanity in September.
Rollstone Bank & Trust
Rollstone Bank & Trust held its eighth Charitable Golf Tournament, raising $40,000 to benefit The Arc of Opportunity, Montachusett Interfaith Hospitality Network, Our Father’s House and Abby’s House. Each group received $10,000.
Reading Community Bank
Reading Community Bank sponsored Hillview Country Club’s annual Thanksgiving dinner for Reading and North Reading seniors with a donation of $3,000.
UniBank
UniBank kicked off its annual Holiday Giving campaign on Nov. 23. Each UniBank branch has chosen an organization that fills a need in its community and supports the program by making and purchasing items, and accepting donations from customers and the general public. Organizations include many branches’ local senior centers and food pantries, Project Just Because, St. Anne’s Human Services and Shrewsbury Youth and Family Services.
Mutual One Bank
The MutualOne Charitable Foundation has awarded $3,000 to Hope and Comfort, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing basic hygiene products for local low-income youth and families. The purchase of items such as soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, and deodorant are not covered by SNAP benefits and food pantries and other resources cannot keep pace with the high demand for such items.
Harbor One Bank
HarborOne Bank hosted its fourth Annual Harvest for Hunger Campaign on Nov. 20 and accepted donations of food throughout the month with the goal of providing local food pantries and hunger programs with in-kind donations of nonperishable food and financial support during this Thanksgiving season.
