Vermont Business Magazine Jim Brown, President of The Bank of Bennington, announced this week that the Bank completed its 2020 annual giving to community food cupboards and fuel funds before the end of the year. In 2020, The Bank of Bennington donated nearly $22,000 to more than 20 area organizations in 11 towns.
Primarily supporting the good work of food cupboards and heating assistance programs, these November and December donations help low income Vermonters during the holidays and beyond into winter. President Brown said, “We are a community bank. Our corporate structure as a mutual bank means we don’t have any shareholders, and our dedication is to our customers. We believe these donations make a real difference throughout the entire community, customers and non-customers alike, especially in this most difficult year.”
Over the past ten years, The Bank of Bennington has shown its commitment to the people in the towns it serves by donating nearly $800,000 to area non-profits in support of the needy, the arts, children, and education.
The Bank of Bennington is a mutual bank with deep commitment to the area. It is the only bank headquartered in Bennington County, Vermont and has branches in Bennington, Arlington, Manchester, and Rutland.
