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 35 local schools, totaling $12,000. 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 that investing in education is critical to our future. Our financial literacy programs have empowered students with essential money management skills, and we are excited to continue working closely with local schools to enhance financial education,” said Jodie Gerulaitis, Vice President of Community Relations.

As part of its ongoing commitment to financial literacy, Country Bank offers a robust Money School program. The program includes a variety of resources designed to teach students about managing money, budgeting, and saving. Most recently, the program introduced a new debit card option for kids, allowing them to learn hands-on how to manage money earned from chores. This innovative approach to financial education is designed to give young people the skills they need to succeed financially throughout their lives.
