Country Bank Supports Wonderfund with $10,000 Donation

WARE — Country Bank has 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 is dedicated to bringing the joy and meaning of childhood to children who have been impacted by trauma, abuse, and neglect.

All are invited to 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 Country’s banking centers until Dec. 14. Each 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 Mass.

“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 1,000 toys to local DCF offices who shared with us. Without your donations, most children would have only received one toy.”
