Newtown Savings Bank Supports Local Habitat

Newtown Savings Bank recently donated $1500 to Housatonic Habitat for Humanity to support the non-profit's mission of providing affordable housing to first-time home buyers in the Greater Danbury area.

At a luncheon last month, Newtown Savings Bank President and CEO Kenneth Weinstein spoke before the more than two dozen area charities sponsored by the bank. He emphasized that the donation were just part of the overall commitment to the work done in the communities by its non-profits and their many dedicated volunteers. Housatonic Habitat for Humanity Executive Director Fran Normann spoke about the importance that Newtown Savings Bank employees play in meeting its mission. “From Board leadership to a commitment to family selection, Newtown Savings employees are dedicated to our work. They play a significant role in our success.” She noted that in addition to providing many back office services, Newtown Savings was also a house sponsor.

Housatonic Habitat for Humanity focuses on making a meaningful difference in the lives of qualified working families by promoting financial stability and self-sufficiency through ownership of affordable homes. Households often consist of those who have limited assets and who have jobs that also have income caps.
