North Brookfield Savings Bank Supports Holiday Toy Programs

NORTH BROOKFIELD — The wish to help every child enjoy the holidays is apparent at North Brookfield Savings Bank (NBSB). Each year, as the holidays approach, the bank hosts toy collections at all of its locations in addition to providing financial support for several local toy-drive organizations.

During NBSB’s annual toy drive, Nov. 3 through Dec. 10, the bank will accept donations of new and unwrapped toys for children from infancy to 12 years old at any branch location. All toys collected will be donated to local toy programs in each community, which will make sure that local children in need receive holiday presents.

“North Brookfield Savings Bank is proud to partner with these outstanding toy donation programs in all of our communities,” said NBSB President and CEO Donna Boulanger. “The Toy Drive event brings out the giving spirit in everyone and gives us the opportunity to connect with our generous customers, community members, and organizations, all for a very important and special cause. This is an event we look forward to every year.”

In addition to toys, NBSB will accept financial contributions in collection containers at the branches to help local toy drives with operational costs. The bank will match every dollar donated and contribute $1 for every toy collected, up to $250 per branch.
