KENNEBUNK, Maine – Just in time for Christmas, the Kennebunk Savings
Bank Foundation is contributing unsolicited gifts totaling $6,025 to
local charities as part of the Kennebunk Savings Bank Volunteer
Investment Program (VIP).
Each year, Kennebunk Savings Bank surveys its employees and those of
its subsidiary, Morris Insurance, on their volunteer activity. Based
on the number of hours volunteered, the Kennebunk Savings Bank
Foundation donates between $25 and $100 to the charity of each
employee’s choice. With over 7,500 hours volunteered in 2003, the
total amount of funds contributed to non-profit and charitable
organizations is the highest since the program was instituted in 2000.
“Our commitment to the communities we serve doesn’t end with our
monetary contributions to non-profit organizations in our area,”
explains Joel Stevens, president and CEO of Kennebunk Savings Bank.
“And our employees’ commitment to service doesn’t end when they
leave work for the day. Our employees are extremely dedicated to the
communities where they live and work and I think the amount of time
they voluntarily provide proves just that. That’s why we’re happy
to support our employees’ dedication with a special contribution to
the charity of their choice.”
Over seventy charitable and non-profit organizations located
throughout southern Maine have received unsolicited contributions this
month through the Volunteer Investment Program.
Kennebunk Savings Bank, a winner of the Maine Businesses for Social
Responsibility Eagle Feather Award, is York County’s leading
financial institution. A true community bank, it distributes 10% of
its earnings each year to non profit and charitable organizations
throughout York County through the Kennebunk Savings Bank
Foundation’s Community Investment Program. Since the
inception of the program, Kennebunk Savings has provided over $3
million to non-profits directly and through their foundation. With
eleven banking offices from Sanford to Kittery, Kennebunk Savings has
a complete line of retail and business banking products and also
offers personal and commercial insurance through its subsidiary,
Morris Insurance Services, Inc.
