During the holidays, we are surrounded by family and friends, celebrating the joys of the season, and looking ahead to the start of a new year. Amidst all the sparkle and celebration, many around us are struggling. The holiday gifts, new clothes, and abundance of food on the table that we enjoy is another family’s worry. Giving back, helping others, and spreading some holiday cheer can make all the difference over the holidays to families in need.
Bankwell is again conducting a Holiday Collection Drive supporting the Center for Family Justice, a safe haven and treatment center for domestic abuse. Through the end of January, all Bankwell locations will be collecting nonperishable food items, such as pasta, beans, and soups, along with new toiletries including soap, shampoo, toothpaste and more.
Below are a few of the many local, dedicated organizations committed to supporting our communities.

A small gesture can make a big difference.
Happy Holidays!
