Abington Bank, a division of North Shore Bank, is proud to announce a $5,000 contribution to Veterans Legal Services (VLS), a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing free civil legal aid to economically disadvantaged veterans in Massachusetts. This donation will support the organization’s general operating expenses, enabling them to continue their vital work of serving those who have served our nation.

“We deeply value the sacrifices made by our veterans and recognize the importance of supporting organizations like Veterans Legal Services,” said Michael Wheeler, president and chief operating officer of Abington Bank, a division of North Shore Bank. “Their work helps ensure that veterans have access to the legal resources they need to overcome challenges and achieve stability in their lives.”

The funding will help Veterans Legal Services sustain and expand its programs, including legal assistance with housing, employment, family law, and access to government benefits. VLS has a longstanding commitment to empowering veterans by addressing critical legal issues that impact their well-being.

“Veterans Legal Services is grateful for the generous support from Abington Bank. Their support helps VLS ensure that veterans’ most urgent unmet needs—legal needs—are met, which promotes their stable housing, economic security, healthy families, and overall well-being,” said Sarah Roxburgh, VLS’s co-executive director and chief of operations.
