Meals-on-Wheels, Inc. of Greenwich received a grant from First County Bank. Sebastian Kulesza, Assistant Vice President, Greenwich Branch Manager of First County Bank and Richard Muskus, Jr., Senior Vice President, Chief Lending Officer and Director of Business Banking delivered the news and the check to Meals-on-Wheels. On hand was Debra Schwartz, Board Member of Meals-on-Wheels, to accept the donation of $2,500. This money directly impacts the program at Meals-on-Wheels of delivering nutritious prepared meals to those unable to shop or cook food for themselves.
The funds also benefit the preschool children at the four Greenwich pre-K programs and children participating in a local academic support program that the organization serves. Meals-on-Wheels buys weekend meals from Filling in the Blanks of Norwalk, CT for these children and its volunteers deliver this food at the end of each week so the children have sustenance to take home every weekend. This is a supplement to the food the children receive during the school days.
Established in 2001 in honor of the Bank’s 150th anniversary, First County Bank Foundation was created to distribute funds annually to nonprofit organizations that directly impact the health and well-being of individuals living and working in Fairfield County. Special consideration is given to agencies and programs that benefit low to moderate income populations. As a mutual bank with no shareholders, First County Bank considers grants made by the Foundation a means of paying dividends back to the local communities it serves. The Foundation awards grants based on need, with average grant amounts ranging from $2,500 to $5,000.
