North Shore Bank Raises $44,000 for Local Food Pantries
Michael Wheeler president and CEO of North Shore Bank announced that the bank’s Neighbors Helping Neighbors campaign raised $44,000 for the 11 local food pantries that participated in this second annual fundraising drive.
The Neighbors Helping Neighbors appeal is part of the bank’s charitable giving program, The Giving Tree, which reflects the bank’s commitment to making a difference in the neighborhoods it serves. Throughout October, the bank invited customers, employees, and members of the community to donate at North Shore Bank branches. All donations received were matched, dollar-for-dollar, by the bank and the total divided among food pantries in the North Shore and Southern New Hampshire communities the bank serves.
Each of these participating food pantries received $4,000:
- Beverly Bootstraps
- People To People, Danvers
- Haven From Hunger, Peabody
- Merrimac Senior Center
- Middleton Food Pantry
- Newton NH Food Pantry
- No Child Goes Hungry in Peabody
- The Open Door, Gloucester
- Reading Food Pantry
- Saugus United Parish Food Pantry
- The Salem Pantry
“On behalf of North Shore Bank, I’d like to thank all those who generously donated to our Neighbors Helping Neighbors fundraiser to help fight food insecurity in our communities,” said Wheeler. “We’re pleased to host this appeal and that so much was raised to help families this holiday season and into the new year.”
