bankESB Launches Veterans Drive to Benefit One Call Away Veterans Support Center

EASTHAMPTON — bankESB announced the launch of its Veterans Drive, a community-wide campaign supporting the One Call Away Veterans Support Center in Agawam. The initiative will run from Memorial Day through Independence Day, inviting customers and community members to donate items and funds to help local veterans in need.

The One Call Away Veterans Support Center provides essential services to veterans and their families, including peer-to-peer support, emergency assistance, and outreach programs designed to reduce veteran suicide and improve mental health and well-being. Through this drive, bankESB aims to raise awareness and provide tangible support to those who have served their nation. Community members are encouraged to contribute by donating much-needed items such as toiletries, household goods, and personal care items.

“Supporting veterans is a year-round priority for us at bankESB, and this drive is one way we can make a real difference in the lives of local heroes,” said Matthew Sosik, president and CEO of bankESB. “The One Call Away Veterans Support Center is doing critical work, and we’re honored to stand alongside them.”

This effort builds on bankESB’s longstanding commitment to the veteran community. Donations can be made at any bankESB branch from May 27 through July 7. Requested items include gift cards (for groceries, gas, and clothing), non-perishable food, toiletries, household goods, and personal care items.
