Thomaston Savings Bank Raises $8,640 for Local Community Organizations through Denim Days

Thomaston Savings Bank employees raised a total of $8,640 for local organizations through their Denim Days over the past few months. The Bank’s Denim Days allow employees to wear jeans on Fridays throughout the month for a small donation to a preselected local nonprofit which provides vital services to the community. If employees donate a total of $1,000 or more throughout the month, the Bank will contribute an additional $1,000 to that month’s cause.

“The current economic climate has been difficult for all of us, but more so for the poor in our community. Through our network of services, we aid, support and empower people experiencing poverty, homelessness, hunger, and mental health challenges so they may recover with dignity and develop sustainable solutions for a brighter future. We sincerely appreciate the support from the staff at Thomaston Savings Bank in fulfilling our Mission.” – Edwin Rodriguez, Director of Development & Public Relations, St. Vincent DePaul Mission of Waterbury
