First National Bank recently announced that it has made donations totaling $16,500 to 28 food pantries in the bank’s market area to celebrate the launch of its new program, Dream First Community.
Dream First Community supports local businesses while helping tackle food insecurity in Maine. When a customer shops using their First National Bank VISA® Debit Card at partner local merchants, First National Bank donates money to local area food banks and customers become eligible to win gift cards to their favorite local businesses.
“First National Bank is grateful for the critical services that our food banks provide our neighbors in need. To us, there is nothing more important than keeping things local,” remarked Tony C. McKim, President and CEO. “Dream First Community helps us move our communities forward, together.”
Lincoln County food pantry donations included: Boothbay Region Food Pantry, Help Yourself Shelf in Wiscasset, New Harbor Food Pantry, Newcastle Ecumenical Food Pantry, Waldoboro Food Pantry and Wiscasset Food Pantry.
