COUNTRY BANK PARTNERS WITH THE WONDERFUND WITH A $10,000 DONATION DURING ITS ANNUAL SEASON OF DIFFER

November 26, 2024—Country Bank, a full-service financial institution serving Central and Western Massachusetts, partnered with the Wonderfund of Massachusetts, with a $10,000 donation. This collaboration will make a difference in the lives of kids and teens served by the Department of Children and Families (DCF), allowing them to experience the magic of childhood during the holiday season. The Wonderfund, an extraordinary group of people on a mission, is dedicated to bringing the joy and meaning of childhood to children who have been impacted by trauma, abuse, and neglect.

You, too, can be a part of this magical initiative. Join the Wonderfund and Country Bank in making this holiday season special for kids in foster care by donating a new, unwrapped gift at any of its banking centers until December 14. Your contribution, no matter how small, will make a difference. Country Bank's team will shop for gifts to join in the efforts, and donations will be delivered to DCF Offices in Springfield and Worcester to be distributed throughout western and central Massachusetts.



"We are excited to partner with the Wonderfund again this year and the opportunity for our team and the communities we serve help us make a difference for children by putting a smile on so many faces this holiday season," said Shelley Regin, Chief Marketing and Community Relations Officer at Country Bank. “Last year, we had such overwhelming support and collectively, we donated over a thousand toys to local DCF offices who shared with us, without your donations most children would have only received one toy.”

If you're ready to help make some magic this holiday season, please visit https://wonderfundma.org. Your support is invaluable and will bring joy to children in foster care.
