Guilford Savings Bank has awarded a $4,000 grant to Shoreline Soup Kitchens & Pantries to purchase fresh produce for needy residents of the shoreline.
The grant, called “Green for Greens”, helps assure that local families
who come to SSKP’s food pantries will be provided with fresh fruit and
vegetables, in addition to non-perishable foods.
Lisa LeMonte, Marketing and Community Development Officer at Guilford Savings Bank, shared, “I
know I speak for everyone at GSB when I say how proud we are to provide
“Green for Greens” that allows The Shoreline Soup Kitchen and Pantries
to supplement their budget with funds to purchase additional fresh
produce.”
“The
support of Guilford Savings Bank and their generous “Green for Greens”
is truly a gift to those we serve at our 5 food pantries. We all know the feeling of eating a fresh crisp apple, or finding a banana in our lunch bag when we are hungry midday. Because
of GSB, those in need will share in that feeling, and on behalf of
those we serve, I sincerely thank Guilford Savings Bank for their
commitment to providing access to fresh fruits and vegetables,” said
Patty Dowling, Executive Director.
