Monson Savings Bank Urges Community to Join the Fight Against Hunger During Bank Wide Food Drive

 
Monson, MA – Monson Savings Bank is calling on the community to come together to make a difference during its Food Drive, happening the first two weeks of November. With food insecurity affecting families across Western Massachusetts, the Bank invites everyone to donate non-perishable food items, paper goods, and toiletries to help neighbors in need.
 
During the first two weeks of November, donations can be dropped at any of the following Monson Savings Bank Branches during regular business hours:
 

 
Each Bank location is partnering with a local food pantry to ensure donations go directly to those in their communities who need them most. In total, the Bank will hold six food drives benefitting four local food pantries.
   
“This is a moment for our community to step up and show what we’re made of,” said Dan Moriarty, President and CEO of Monson Savings Bank. “We’re proud to be part of this effort, and we’re asking our neighbors to join us. Every can, every box, every donation makes a real impact.”
 
Monson Savings Bank’s commitment to fighting food insecurity goes beyond this bank-wide initiative. This year, the Bank has contributed $32,500 to local organizations that are fighting hunger in the communities the Bank serves. This includes $20,000 to The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts, part of a $100,000 pledge; $10,000 to the Martin Luther King, Jr. Family Services Food Pantry; $1,000 to Rachel’s Table, $1,000 to the Wales Food Pantry, and $500 to the Feed the Kids Golf Tournament.  
About Monson Savings Bank
Incorporated as a mutually chartered community bank in 1872, Monson Savings Bank has one of the longest tenures of service and stability in its market. Civic leaders chartered the bank with the intent to give working men and women the opportunity to save, which – incredibly, they could not do prior to the bank’s inception.  Today, Monson Savings Bank retains its legacy of empowerment through savings, but has expanded to serve its customers with a variety of innovative financial services, including digital banking, online mortgage applications and business banking, and commercial lending. The bank has expanded on its promise of “where people save, businesses prosper, and communities benefit” by opening offices in Hampden, Wilbraham, Ware, and most recently East Longmeadow, Massachusetts. The bank also opened a retail and business loan operations center in Wilbraham in 2020. Member FDIC, Member DIF, Equal Housing Lender.
