Boys & Girls Clubs of Kennebec Valley, Gardiner, recently was one of numerous local nonprofits to receive school supplies from Camden National Bank.
More than 9,000 school supplies were donated to nonprofits across Northern New England. Employees throughout the region collected pens, pencils, notebooks and other supplies at the company’s 57 banking centers. They also made personal contributions at the bank’s annual employee appreciation event.
“We look forward to recognizing and honoring our employees each year and celebrating our unwavering community spirit,” said Greg Dufour, president and chief executive officer, according to a news release from the bank. “We were overwhelmed by the number of school supplies we received this year, but it wasn’t surprising given our long history of supporting local shelters and other outstanding youth organizations that care for community members in need.”
The nonprofits included numerous homeless shelters also supported by Camden National Bank’s Hope@Home program, which was established in 2015 to provide critical assistance to people in need.
