Skowhegan Savings employees donate to Dexter Public Health Association

SKOWHEGAN — Skowhegan Savings employees recently donated $20,000 to 20 local nonprofits during their third annual Season of Giving, including the Dexter Public Health Association. Started in 2021, the bank’s employees annually select 20 nonprofits in their communities, by branch and departments, to give $1,000 grants to as part of the program.

“The bank and our employees take great pride in being a part of our communities and this gives us just another way to show our appreciation to these communities that support us year-round, by spreading goodwill at the end of each year,” said David Cyr, president and CEO of Skowhegan Savings.

This year’s Season of Giving recipients included local food pantries, humane societies and other community initiatives.

“Our employees really enjoy having the opportunity to select the nonprofits, it’s always fun to see the diversity of organizations that they select and to witness the nonprofit’s appreciation when they surprise them with these grants,” said Cyr. “I’m proud to be part of an organization whose employees are so passionate about giving back to their communities.”

In 2023, the bank donated over $400,000 to local nonprofits and community initiatives. For more information about the Skowhegan Savings’ Charitable Foundation or the Season of Giving program, please visit skowhegan.com.
