UniBank, the largest Mutual Community Bank headquartered in Central Massachusetts, recently held their Annual Meeting at the Portuguese Club in Milford.

Michael Welch, CEO of UniBank, said, “Our Annual Meeting had a special energy at the Portuguese Club. We welcomed over 160 Directors, Corporators, and team members who each contributed to our great success in 2024.  It always makes me proud to reiterate the 150+ year legacy of our commitment to the Central Mass community, our giving of over $2M to non-profits and charities in 2024, and the current strength of UniBank financially, as well as our prosperous outlook for the remainder of 2025.”

UniBank Chairman, Tim Wickstrom, commented at the meeting, “Tonight, we hold our Annual Meeting for the 1st time in Milford, where we have a very vibrant and prosperous branch just a stone’s throw from here.  It is also fitting that we have our meeting at this beautiful Portuguese Club of Milford, a long-time gathering place for the Portuguese immigrant community in Milford and Hopedale.” 

Chairman Wickstrom added, “As many of you know, Milford and the Blackstone Valley towns of Uxbridge and Whitinsville have a long history of welcoming immigrants to work, live, worship, and prosper in their communities. In Milford and Hopedale, the Portuguese immigrants worked at the Draper Mill, another large textile machine manufacturer in the Blackstone Valley area, second only to the Whitin Machine Works in Whitinsville. Tonight, we salute, celebrate and recognize the Portuguese immigrant community here for their contribution to the Greater Milford community through their hard work culture, their family and faith values, and their neighborly acts of kindness towards one another.  We look forward to continuing to support this community, as well as the communities in the Greater Milford area, as we expand our presence in adjacent communities.”

UniBank would like to thank the Portuguese Club team for their gracious hospitality as well as Oliva’s Market, Catering and Gourmet Gifts of Milford for providing their exceptional catering and service.
