“Friends of Hampden Senior Citizens use donations to enhance our town’s Senior Center without impacting the town’s tax base,” said Claudia Kapinos, Friends of Hampden Senior Citizens President. “We invite all seniors to enjoy the programs, events, and services offered, and we welcome everyone to support the Senior Center, whether through donations or volunteering. There are many opportunities throughout the year, and our Senior Center staff coordinate all volunteer efforts.”

About Monson Savings Bank
Incorporated as a mutually chartered community bank in 1872, Monson Savings Bank has one of the longest tenures of service and stability in its market. Civic leaders chartered the bank with the intent to give working men and women the opportunity to save, which – incredibly, they could not do prior to the bank’s inception. Today, Monson Savings Bank retains its legacy of empowerment through savings, but has expanded to serve its customers with a variety of innovative financial services, including digital banking, online mortgage applications and business banking, and commercial lending. The bank has expanded on its promise of “where people save, businesses prosper, and communities benefit” by opening offices in Hampden, Wilbraham, Ware, and most recently East Longmeadow, Massachusetts. The bank also opened a retail and business loan operations center in Wilbraham in 2020. Member FDIC, Member DIF, Equal Housing Lender
