UniBank Donates $5,000 to Alternatives

UniBank is pleased to announce that a $5,000 grant was awarded to Alternatives Unlimited, Inc. Alternatives provides residential and employment services to adults with disabilities throughout Central Massachusetts through a variety of programs, placing a strong emphasis on social integration.

The $5,000 grant will be used to purchase adaptive equipment to improve the quality of life of the individuals served by Alternatives by making them more self-reliant. Examples of this equipment range from physical therapy equipment to walkers that enhance mobility and help individuals walk on their own.

According to Kenneth J. Redding, president and CEO of UniBank, “It is evident to our board that Alternatives continues to be served by an extraordinary group of staff, dedicated volunteers and a caring and competent management group.  We are proud to support their efforts in the community.”

Dennis H. Rice, executive director of Alternatives stated, “UniBank is truly a community bank supporting all of its citizens. This grant will help several individuals that Alternatives serves become less dependant and more self-reliant in their lives. Thank you UniBank, for your ongoing support.”
