Variety Child Learning Center was recently presented with a $2,500 check on behalf of Hanover Bank, awarded through a grant the bank received from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York.

Through the Small Business Recovery Grant (SBRG) program, members can provide grants of up to $10,000 to qualifying small businesses, including farms and nonprofit organizations like Variety, which have faced economic challenges due to the interest rate environment, overall inflation, supply-chain constraints, and rising energy costs.
