North Shore Bank presented a donation to The Office of Veteran’s Services for the Town of Middleton. Recommended by Maria Silva, North Shore Bank’s Middleton Branch Manager, bank employees were able to raise $1,850 for Veteran’s Services in the month of January, 2020.

Silva stated:

It is truly inspirational to see what The Office of Veteran’s Services does for the local men and women who serve in our military. This donation is the least we could do to recognize their sacrifices and show our gratitude.

Following the Bank’s contribution, a matching grant was approved through the Armed Forces Financial Network (AFFN) of $1,500, bringing the total donation to $3,350. The AFFN Matching Grant Program provides direct support to participating financial institutions, who determine the local need for troops and their families.
Middleton’s Veterans have selflessly sacrificed so much for this great nation and this selfless and generous donation from the employees of North Shore Bank and AFFN will ensure that they continue to receive the best possible assistance Middleton can provide.
