Thomaston Savings Bank Employees Raise $12,941 for Local Community Organizations through Denim Days

Thomaston Savings Bank employees raised a total of $12,941 for local organizations through their Denim Days over the last six 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. 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 Bank will continue this employee campaign throughout the rest of the year.

“We are thrilled to continue our employee Denim Days! This is a wonderful initiative to engage employees who might not have time outside of office hours to give back to local community organizations.” – Stephen Lewis, President & CEO, Thomaston Savings Bank
