Vermont Business Magazine Community Bank branches in Vermont and across the New England Region are helping spread holiday cheer by lending a hand and giving back to their local neighbors and communities. The bank is once again ringing in the holiday season by sponsoring or independently organizing charity drives for local community members, families and businesses.
Community Bank branches across the four-state footprint are working to make a difference for local community members and organizations, including branches in the New England Region.
From donating food baskets and gifts for children to purchasing a holiday dinner for a family and more, each branch chose its activity based on the current needs of its local community.
“The true spirit of the holiday season comes from giving back and helping those in need,” Community Bank Regional Manager Anita Bourgeois said. “It’s an honor to do that right here at home in our local community. Our branches will be bustling and working hard to make a difference, and we encourage our New England Region community to get involved and help spread holiday cheer.”
Community Bank invites its neighbors and the community to consider supporting or learning more about one of the many causes the bank is involved with this season.
Specific local activities include:
- Barre branch is supporting the hat, mitten and sock tree for the Easter Seals Program
