With some 350 winter coats collected and distributed to the community, Bankwell’s Hamden and North Haven offices recently ended their three month winter coat drive.

“This is one of the more successful winter coat drives we’ve undertaken” said Mark Candido, Bankwell Regional President. “The staffs of both offices should be commended, along with Hamden and North Haven residents, customers and friends , who took their personal time to bring coats to our offices.”

The coats were delivered to Saint Anne’s Soup Kitchen, a prominent Hamden social services agency.

Candido concluded: “Many people have benefited from the comfort of these winter coats, especially during this bitter weather.  Residents were very generous in donating both new and gently used coats.”

Bankwell is a community bank known for its social and civic contributions to the community. The bank maintains two local offices at 2704 Dixwell Avenue, Hamden and 24 Washington Avenue, North Haven. For more information visit www.mybankwell.com or call 203-407-0756
