MONTGOMERY, N.Y. (December 21, 2011) – Walden Savings Bank participated in this year’s Salvation Army “Adopt-A-Family” campaign, making the holidays a little brighter for 10 local families.
The Adopt-A-Family program matches impoverished families with individual or group sponsors to provide for their tangible needs at Christmas. Many adoptees are referred by social workers who help deserving families complete an application and compile a wish list. The Salvation Army then matches the family with a donor and ensures they receive the gifts and food before Christmas.
Walden Savings Bank provided a $25 Shoprite Gift Certificate for each of 10 families and employees donated presents for each member of each family including 30 children.
Walden Savings Bank is dedicated to serving our community,” said President and CEO Derrik R. Wynkoop. “We are proud to help make the holidays a little brighter for these deserving families and our employees’ generosity can only be matched by their enthusiasm for this effort.”
