MEREDITH — Meredith Village Savings Bank welcomes community members to take part in their annual Mitten Tree Drive. The bank will be collecting donations of new, handmade or store-bought cold-weather accessories at all MVSB offices now through New Year’s Eve.
All items donated will be distributed to local schools and nonprofits to help keep neighbors warm this winter. In addition, for every item donated, the bank will contribute monetarily to local organizations working to combat childhood food insecurity.
“For more than four decades, the Mitten Tree Drive has brought our communities together in the spirit of giving,” said Stacy Trites, senior vice president and senior retail banking officer. “Each year, we’re inspired by the generosity of those who help us bring warmth and nourishment to so many local children and families.”
The bank’s matching donation will benefit End 68 Hours of Hunger programs serving Alton, Exeter, North Conway, Portsmouth, Rochester and Wolfeboro, as well as local Got Lunch! programs serving Gilford, Ashland and Holderness, Inter-Lakes, Laconia and Plymouth.
A full list of locations and hours is available at mvsb.com/locations.
