BRUNSWICK — Norway Savings Bank President and CEO Dan Walsh and other NSB team members made a surprise visit to Mid Coast Hunger Prevention Program on Dec. 17 and delivered a holiday “Helping Hands” donation of $2,500 to the benevolent organization in recognition of its amazing work and impact. NSB “elves” have been visiting nonprofits across the state for the last week and dropping off surprise holiday donations in thanks for their efforts.
Walsh presented the check to Hannah Chatalbash, MCHPP executive director, and Alyssa Schoppee, MCHPP development director.
In addition to the main food pantry, MCHPP operates 12 satellite pantries serving over 220,000 meals per year, three school pantries, a community kitchen for internal food processing and community member use, the gleaning of nearly 60,000 pounds of local produce, a delivery program for the homebound, and much more.
“It’s a privilege to support MCHPP,” said Walsh. “They are committed to addressing food insecurity in the Midcoast area, of course, but it’s the way in which they provide that access that is truly remarkable. Staff and volunteers treat clients with such kindness and preserve the dignity of all they serve.”
“The contributions of community members and organizations like Norway Savings is incredibly important and meaningful,” said Chatalbash. “We’re so grateful for the commitment of so many people as we continue to seek new and expanded opportunities to feed our community and support the economic wellbeing of all our Midcoast neighbors.”
