Monson Savings Bank Celebrates Local Nonprofits at Community Giving Initiative Reception, Donating $25,000
MONSON — Monson Savings Bank welcomed local nonprofit partners to its recent Community Giving Initiative Reception at the bank’s loan and operations center. The celebratory evening brought together nonprofit leaders, community members, and bank leadership to honor the organizations chosen by the community — turning gratitude into a shared experience and philanthropy into a moment of meaningful celebration.
The reception combined light refreshments and networking with recognition of the nonprofit organizations selected through Monson Savings Bank’s Community Giving Initiative, a charitable program shaped entirely by community participation. Earlier this year, local community members were invited to cast votes for their nonprofit organizations of choice, ensuring that the Bank’s charitable contributions directly reflect the values and priorities of the communities it serves.
“These nonprofits bring essential services, joy, and support to people throughout Western Massachusetts,” said Dan Moriarty, president and CEO of Monson Savings Bank. “We’re grateful for the work you do, and we’re honored to stand with you.”
Each nonprofit recipient was invited forward for an individual check presentation, accompanied by photo opportunities to commemorate the moment.
The 2026 Community Giving Initiative recipients included a diverse group of organizations making a meaningful impact across the region: I Found Light Against All Odds of Springfield; Magic for Maddie of Southampton; Friends of Hampden Seniors in Hampden; South End Community Center and Springfield Ballers, both serving Springfield; the YWCA of Western Massachusetts; Monson Free Library of Monson; the Springfield Jewish Community Center; CLUBOH of Springfield; Aida’s Food Truck of Palmer; and the Miracle League of Western Massachusetts in Holyoke.
