PORTSMOUTH –
Piscataqua Savings Bank in downtown Portsmouth has
officially launched its annual “Spirit of Giving” campaign. For the eighth
consecutive year the Bank has provided drop boxes to collect donations for two
important community service organizations. This year, they are Seacoast Family
Promise, which serves homeless families and the Seacoast Family Food Pantry.
Kathleen Donovan, vice president and trust officer at the
bank, chairs the holiday giving campaign. “We are so proud of our Spirit of
Giving campaign. It grows stronger each year and there have been so many
touching stories as a result,” Donovan said. “We had a successful Halloween
party to kick off the campaign; hopefully we’ll continue to gather a nice
amount of donations for these non-profits.”
Drop boxes for the organizations are available inside the
Bank lobby on Pleasant Street in Portsmouth. You can help make this year a
happier holiday for countless Seacoast families by bringing your donations in
to Piscataqua Savings Bank.
Top three items on Seacoast Family Promise’s Wish List:
outerwear, boots and shoes; diapers and wipes; new socks, underwear and pj’s.
Top three items on Seacoast Family Food Pantry’s Wish List: non-perishable
protein: canned tuna or chicken, beef stew, peanut butter; personal care items
like toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, razors, deodorant; canned fruits.
Additionally, both organizations are in need of cash or gift
card donations, which can be turned in at any of the teller windows for
collection.
Drop boxes are filled and delivered to the appropriate
agency as needed. Your donations are welcomed anytime during the bank’s main
lobby hours which are Monday – Thursday 9 am to 4 pm, Friday 9 am to 6 pm, and
Saturday 9 am to 12:30 pm.
