Liberty Bank Donates To Madison Nonprofit

News release from Liberty Bank:

MADISON, CT — Liberty Bank turned 200 on May 4, and it is celebrating in a big way.

Founded in 1825, Liberty Bank is committed to supporting the communities it serves. Its teammates volunteer their time. Since its inception in 1997, Liberty Bank Foundation has awarded more than $21 million in grants to nonprofit organizations throughout the bank’s market area.

Now, in celebration of its 200th anniversary, Liberty is choosing to give back even more. It is giving $1,825 to a local organization in each of the towns where it has a branch. Ultimately, it is donating a total of $87,600 to 48 organizations.

“It’s very important for Liberty to give back – to invest in the community,” said President and CEO David W. Glidden. “We would not be around for two centuries if it weren’t for the people and organizations that have supported us. We are celebrating this milestone anniversary by paying it forward.”

The 48 organizations were selected by Liberty Bank customers. More than 10,000 votes were tallied.

Liberty Bank’s branch in Madison gave its $1,825 donation to the Women & Family Life Center.

“This organization does incredible work to help those who need it,” said Leigh-Bette Maynard, Liberty Bank’s branch manager in Madison. “We are pleased to support the Women & Family Life Center.”

In addition to donating to the 48 nonprofits, Liberty Bank Foundation is celebrating the bank’s anniversary by donating $250,000 to Make-A-Wish, and it will partner with Hands on Hartford to provide more than 200 weekend meal kits for children in need. Working with the Max Restaurant Group, Liberty Bank will donate 200 Thanksgiving dinner boxes to area families in need, and it will build 200 bikes that will be donated to the Boys & Girls Club of Hartford. Teammates also recently assembled more than 200 Birthday Boxes to be delivered to local pantries across Liberty’s footprint so that families have everything they need to enjoy their own birthday celebrations at home.

“Our celebration is your celebration,” Glidden said. “We are fortunate to be in a position where we can help make a difference in our communities. There is no better way to celebrate 200 years than by being community kind.”
