Kennebunk Savings, Morris Insurance and Kennebunk Financial Services
employees who volunteer in their communities were given an additional
way to support the charity of their choice last month through a
special program of the Kennebunk Savings Bank Foundation. The program,
known as the bank’s Volunteer Investment Program, distributed
$6,025 in unsolicited gifts to over 60 organizations chosen by the
employees themselves.
Every year, Kennebunk Savings Bank conducts a survey determining how
much time its employees and those of its subsidiaries, spend
volunteering for non-profit and charitable organizations. Based on the
number of volunteer hours, the Kennebunk Savings Bank Foundation
awards employees by donating anywhere between $25 and $100 to the
charity of their choice. This year, Kennebunk Savings Bank’s close
connection with the York County community resulted in nearly 6,000
hours of volunteer work.
“We have what I like to call a ‘culture of caring’ at Kennebunk
Savings and Morris Insurance,” explains Joel Stevens, president and
CEO of Kennebunk Savings Bank. “Our employees truly care about the
customers they serve and the communities where they work. That is
quite evident in the amount of volunteer hours our employees provide.
This unique program is one more way to show how much we value our
employees and appreciate that, in the midst of their busy lives, they
do so much for their communities.”
Kennebunk Savings Bank, a winner of the Maine Business for Social
Responsibility Eagle Feather Award, is York County’s leading
financial institution. A true community bank with a mutual charter, it
distributes 10% of its earnings each year to non profit and charitable
organizations throughout York County through its Community
Investment Program. Since the inception of the program in 1994,
Kennebunk Savings has provided over $3.5 million to non-profits either
directly or through the Kennebunk Savings Bank Foundation.
With eleven banking offices from Sanford to Kittery, Kennebunk Savings
offers customers a complete line of retail and business banking
products and also offers financial planning and investments through
Kennebunk Financial Services and personal commercial insurance through
its subsidiary, Morris Insurance Services, Inc.
