Hunger Action

Month

PUTNAM --- During the month of September, The Citizens National Bank will again be working with Interfaith Human Services of Putnam to promote Hunger Action Month. The Bank will be hosting a month long food drive at all of its branches and also collecting monetary donations. In addition, employees of the Bank have the opportunity to participate in multiple dress-down days during the month in exchange for the donation of non-perishable food items. The Citizens National Bank is also making a significant financial contribution to IHSP – Daily Bread.

Last year, President and CEO David Conrad said, “We are always glad to assist in community based projects and organizations. The IHSP is certainly one of these worthy causes with which the Bank and its employees are proud to be involved. And of course, as fans of Syracuse University we will do anything to ‘Wear Orange’ – the color of SU.”

Food items and donations from this campaign will benefit several organizations in the community including Daily Bread in Putnam, TEEG in Thompson, Friends of Assisi Food Pantry in Danielson, the Pomfret Food Pantry, and Project PIN in Plainfield/Moosup. To make a donation, please visit any branch of The Citizens National Bank, located in Putnam, Woodstock, Brooklyn, Thompson, and Killingly.

Sept. 4 is National Wear Orange Day for Hunger Action! Orange is the color of hunger relief. Wear orange to raise awareness in the fight against hunger!
