The MutualOne Charitable Foundation awarded $5,000 to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Mass/Metrowest to support the organization’s mentoring programs in Framingham and Natick, communities where MutualOne Bank has a major presence.

Lamprey, chair of the MutualOne Charitable Foundation. “Our Foundation is pleased to play a role in making this life-changing promise available to young people in our community.”

The grant to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Mass/Metrowest was among awards totaling more than $57,750 in the Foundation’s most recent round of funding.
