Country Bank Supports Local Schools with Back-to-School Donations

Country Bank, a full-service financial institution serving Central and Western Massachusetts, is pleased to announce its recent donation of $250 Visa gift cards to 43 local schools, totaling $10,750. These schools have been long-standing partners in our financial literacy initiatives, and this contribution aims to support teachers and students as they head into the new academic year.

“At Country Bank, we are deeply committed to the communities we serve, and we believe investing in education is one of the most meaningful ways we can make a difference. Through our financial literacy programs, we are helping students develop essential money management skills and build a strong foundation for their future. We are proud to continue supporting our local schools, educators, and students,” said Jodie Gerulaitis, First Vice President of Community Relations.

As part of its ongoing commitment to financial education, Country Bank offers Money School, a comprehensive program designed to help students develop essential money management skills through engaging, age-appropriate lessons and hands-on learning opportunities. From budgeting and saving to understanding responsible spending, Money School provides young learners with practical tools to build a strong financial foundation. Most recently, Country Bank introduced a youth debit card, giving families another opportunity to teach children about managing money responsibly and developing healthy financial habits early in life.
