UniBank Employees Give to Others

The employees of UniBank are proud to announce that $450 worth of supermarket gift certificates have been donated to the Northbridge Association of Churches’ Food Pantry. Each year, UniBank employees receive gift certificates for use toward the purchase of holiday food items in appreciation of their hard work and dedication to the bank. Over the years, many UniBank employees have chosen to give their gift certificates to a local food bank.

This year local food banks have experienced a growth in need for donations. Seeing the rising need, UniBank employees also collected non-perishable food items that were donated to the food bank as part of their Giving Tree campaign for the holiday season. In addition, UniBank provides several dinners each year at the Peace of Bread Community Kitchen located at the United Presbyterian Church on Cottage Street in Whitinsville.

James F. Paulhus, president and CEO of UniBank commented, “Our neighbors are struggling in this difficult economy, and UniBank employees are reaching out to help. We are proud to support all of the efforts of the Northbridge Association of Churches to help those less fortunate in our community.”

According to Tom Morrell, who manages the food pantry, 60 local families, made up of over 200 adults and children are assisted by the pantry on a monthly basis. “This donation from UniBank is greatly appreciated. There are a growing number of families seeking assistance each month, creating an even greater need for donations. With help from the community, including UniBank and over 30 volunteers at the food pantry, we strive to help as many families as we can.”
