Monson Savings Bank President & CEO Dan Moriarty and EVP & COO Michael Rouette, who also serves as the YMCA of Greater Springfield’s Board Chair & Chief Volunteer Officer, recently met with the Scantic Valley YMCA Branch Executive Director Debbie Kelder and YMCA of Greater Springfield President and CEO Dexter Johnson to present them with a $1,000 donation.
“Monson Savings Bank has had a proud partnership with the YMCA for a number of years. We are so glad to offer our support with this donation,” said Moriarty. “The Scantic Valley Y is a staple in our communities. A lot of our staff at the Wilbraham Branch and Loan and Operations Center take advantage of the close proximity of the Scantic Valley to their office, I know Michael and I certainly do! We know firsthand how important this location is to local community members.”
Scantic Valley YMCA Branch received this donation from the local bank after placing in the top ten vote recipients for the Monson Savings Bank 2024 Community Giving Initiative. Community members voted for their favorite charitable organizations and chose the Scantic Valley YMCA to be a recipient of the donation.
