Wanda Fontaine, Assistant Vice President/Assistant Operations Officer at the Bank, is head of the holiday giving campaign this year. Fontaine said, “We are so proud of our Spirit of Giving campaign. Each year our Piscataqua family wants to do more for the community. We look forward to serving those less fortunate during the holiday season.”
