The bank matched the employees’ efforts with $11,000 to be divided among the designated food pantries, including:
• Care and Share Food Closet, Farmington

Franklin Savings Bank employees also raised over $560 in September for Thanksgiving baskets for Gold Star and veteran families, and the bank donated an additional $800. Baskets were filled with canned and boxed goods, fresh vegetables, homemade pies donated by employees, handwritten cards by children of employees and Hannaford gifts cards for the more perishable items. This year, Franklin Savings Bank put together 31 baskets to benefit local families.
