For the second year, Bankwell is proud to support the Filling in the Blanks Annual Holiday Backpack Drive. Filling the Blanks (FIB) currently serves nearly 1500 children in Fairfield and Westchester counties and will once again give each child in its program a brand new backpack filled with gifts this holiday season. Founded in 2013 by two New Canaan residents, FIB strives to remove the obstacle of food insecurity faced by thousands of children by providing each student in its program a bag containing two breakfast items, two lunch items, snacks and fresh fruit every Friday.

To volunteer, or to donate a complete backpack to the program, visit www.fillingintheblanks.org.
