Merchants Bank Donates $1000 to ProJeCt of Easton

ProJeCt announced that Sandee Kennedy, vice president and market manager of Merchants Bank, presented a $1,000 donation to ProJeCt’s Early Childhood Education program through Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program. The announcement was made today by ProJeCt CEO Janice Komisor.

“ProJeCt’s Early Childhood Education program helps break the inter-generational cycle of low literacy by providing a high-quality, language-rich pre-school to at-risk children. We greatly appreciate Merchant Bank’s support,” Komisor said.

ProJeCt’s Early Childhood Education program is designed for low-income families with children aged three months to five years. Activities promote early reading skills, such as the ability to identify the sounds of letters. The children enrolled in this program also have a parent who is enrolled in one of our adult classes, thereby supporting family literacy and helping parents develop their skills as their child’s most important teacher.
