Banks run
annual PJ drive
PUTNAM — bankHometown kicked off its 16th annual pajama drive on Nov. 26th with a challenge to residents to help support local children in need of new pajamas or slippers.
From now until Dec. 15, all 13 bankHometown branches will be accepting pajama donations for children sizes 4T and up, as well as small and medium sizes in men and women. Pajamas must be in complete sets (top and bottom) or an appropriate nightgown. The pajamas and slippers will go to local shelters throughout central Massachusetts and northern Connecticut.
“We believe in giving back to our community all year round, but especially for children during the winter and holiday season,” said Matthew Sosik, president and CEO of bankHometown. “This initiative is to give children in our communities the warmth and comfort they may need during the cold winter nights.”
The pajamas and slippers are sent to local schools in central Massachusetts and northern Connecticut, as well as the TEEG (Thompson Ecumenical Empowerment Group) in Thompson.
