A long-standing holiday tradition at Charles River Bank is the annual Food Drive. Every year during the month of December, Charles River Bank branch offices set up donation tables in their lobbies for customers, community members, and bank staff to make food donations to the Medway, Bellingham and Mendon Food Pantries. The donations are brought to the Food Pantries just before the New Year to help restock after the holidays.  

Items most needed by the Food Pantries include: canned meats, soups, stews; dry foods such as cereal and pasta; other non-perishable food items; paper goods, diapers and personal hygiene items. Bring your donation to your local Charles River Bank branch Dec. 1 through Dec. 31. Branch locations can be found at www.charlesriverbank.com.
