Community Connection

Thanks for helping us WARM-UP our community!
Chelsea Groton Bank donated $1 for each new 'like' and 'follow' we received on our social media channels in November and December to The United Way of Southeastern Connecticut's Project WARM-UP campaign, which helps ensure the heating needs of families in our region are met. Thank you to all who have joined us on our Facebook and LinkedIn channels. Be sure to "like" us and be on the look-out for a similar campaign in the future!

Coin Counting for a Cause
Now through the end of March, the 3% fee normally charged to non-relationship customers who use the coin-counting machine in the Groton branch will be donated to The United Way of Southeastern Connecticut's Gemma Moran Food Center in New London. Relationship customers, who currently do not pay a fee, will have the option to donate the value of 3% of their coins to the Food Center. After coins are counted, a transaction coin redemption receipt will be printed out. Customers can bring the receipt to the teller line to receive the value of the coins, and a receipt that shows the amount donated as proof of the donation for tax records. What better time than now to bring in your coins and make a difference?
