PITTSFIELD — Sebasticook Valley Federal Credit Union continued its commitment to the greater community through several holiday corporate and employee-led programs in 2023. Last month, the credit union participated as a corporate sponsor for the Valley of Trees Festival in Newport, an initiative by the Sebasticook Valley Chamber of Commerce that celebrated community spirit and holiday cheer.
The Valley of Trees Festival showcased more than 60 creatively decorated trees, each with unique prizes provided by local businesses. The festival’s primary aim was to garner support for Sebasticook Valley businesses, while contributing to holiday charity programs spanning a dozen towns within the community. Sebasticook Valley FCU presented a tree featuring a sofa, television, TV stand with a fireplace and end tables, as well as gifts beneath the tree catering to every family member, according to a news release from the credit union.
