Abington Bank Raises $33,800 for Local Food Pantries in Annual Neighbors Helping Neighbors Fundraiser
Andrew J. Raczka, president and CEO of Abington Bank, announced that the bank’s second annual Neighbors Helping Neighbors fundraising drive raised $33,800 for local food pantries.
The appeal is part of the bank’s charitable giving program, called The Giving Tree, which reflects the bank’s commitment to making a real difference in the neighborhoods it serves. Throughout the month of November, the bank invited customers, employees, and members of the community to donate funds at Abington Bank branches. All donations received were matched, dollar for dollar, by Abington Bank and the total divided among food pantries in South Shore and South Coast communities the bank serves. Each of these participating food pantries received $2,600 to help feed families in need:
- Aunt Dot’s Kitchen Food Pantry, Hull
- Avon Food Pantry
- Canton Food Pantry
- Cohasset Food Pantry
- Friendly Food Pantry, Randolph
- Holbrook Food Pantry, Inc.
- Interfaith Social Services, Quincy
- Scituate Food Pantry
- South Shore YMCA Food Pantry, Quincy
- Anthony Free Market, Stoughton
- Vincent de Paul Society Food Pantry, Abington
- The Charity Guild, Brockton
- The Family Food Pantry—Damien’s Place, East Wareham
“Abington Bank would like to thank everyone who generously donated to our Neighbors Helping Neighbors campaign,” said Raczka. “We’re pleased that these food pantries will receive much-needed funds in time for the holiday season.”
