Kennebunk Savings Bank Foundation Accepting Grant Requests

KENNEBUNK, MAINE – The Kennebunk Savings Bank Foundation’s Huntington Common Charitable Fund is now accepting grant requests.  Last year through the Fund, the Kennebunk Savings Foundation contributed over $100,000 to area programs for seniors, and included grants to Community Harvest, People’s Regional Opportunity Program’s Winterization Program, SMMC Visiting Nurses, The Iris Network, The Warren Center for Communication, York County Food Rescue, and York County Shelters Program. 

Recently Kennebunk Savings President and CEO Brad Paige delivered a check to York County Food Rescue for $12,500.  York County Food Rescue has seen a dramatic rise in the need for food from the forty-three food pantries and meal programs for whom they provide food. (see photo).
