The Framingham Co-operative Bank Charitable Foundation recently granted more than $26,000 to benefit the community.

The largest award, in the amount of $10,000 was to the Boys & Girls Clubs of MetroWest. The grant was made to help support the out-of-school programs at the Framingham Clubhouse on Pearl Street, which serves an average of 150 children each day. This is the sixth consecutive year the club has received support from the bank’s Charitable Foundation, the bank said in a statement.

Framingham’s Joseph P. Keefe Technical School received $8,495 from the foundation for the purchase of a Point of Sale (POS) computer/register system. The equipment will be used in the student-run dining room that serves as the hospitality component of the school’s culinary arts program.

The foundation also awarded the sum of $3,600 to the MetroWest Jewish Day School to expand community service curriculum in the classroom and expand its annual community service event, Mitzvah Day.

The First Baptist Church in Framingham received $2,000 in support of its volunteer "Happy birthday, Baby" project, which provides baby care essentials for low-income mothers and pregnant teens in greater Metrowest.

The sum of $1,000 was awarded to the Framingham Baseball League to help fund that organization’s scholarship program. An additional $1,000 was granted to the Association of Small Foundations, which provides programs, publications and resources for member organizations.
