$260 donation

PUTNAM — Members of the Savings Institute team presented a check in the amount of $260 to Susan Desrosiers, executive director of The Arc Quinebaug Valley, at The Arc’s Redemption Center located at 96 Front Str. “The employees of the Savings Institute have continaously shown generosity and dedication towards the mission of our agency, and we are forever grateful.” said Desrosiers.

The Arc Redemption Center is licensed through the CT Department of Environmental Protection and offers the community a convenient location to redeem their bottles and cans that carry the CT five cent deposit mark. The mission of the business is to provide individuals with life-affecting disabilities a meaningful “real work for real pay” opportunity and a chance to increase their skills toward greater independence. This gift from the Savings Institute will help to enhance services provided by The Arc.

“The Savings Institute has touched and improved many lives through their support and kindness over the years. Words cannot even begin to express how thankful and appreciative we are of the true kindness this community bank has demonstrated towards us.” said  Desrosiers.
