Berwick, ME – In June, Partners Bank employees volunteered to sell lemonade donated by Aroma Joe’s to thousands of patrons who flocked to the 49th Annual South Berwick Strawberry Festival. The lemonade stand brought in over $1,000 in sales. Those proceeds will be donated to the South Berwick Community Food Pantry. But that’s not all – Partners Bank is making an extra contribution, bumping the donation to $1,500!
For decades, the South Berwick Community Food Pantry has been faithfully committed to ensuring no one in our community falls behind. They are more than just a food pantry; they also offer additional assistance programs such as Keep South Berwick Warm, a heating fuel assistance program, and SoBo Cares, a program that raises funds to help families with necessities throughout the school year. The donation from Partners Bank will support their tireless efforts to serve those in need.
Partners Bank employees hold the South Berwick Community Food Pantry close to their hearts. In May, Market Manager Eric Walker selected the organization to receive a $1,000 donation through the Partners Bank Employee Donation of the Month program.
The South Berwick Community Food Pantry is located at 47 Ross Street, South Berwick, ME 03908. For more information, email [email protected] or call Bridget Pote at (207) 384-4324. Visit https://www.sobocentral.org/foodpantry.html to learn how you can give food and monetary donations.
