Needham Bank Supports Springwell's Money Management Program for Seniors

James Roberts, First Vice President and Compliance Officer at Needham Bank, paid a visit last month to the offices of Springwell to learn about Springwell’s Money Management Program. This month, Needham Bank followed up on the visit with a donation in support of the program. With help from this grant award, more than 60 low-income elders and adults with disabilities will benefit this year from the program. Volunteers provide monthly in-home assistance with routine money management tasks; provide guidance on how to stretch one’s budget; and educate about dangerous money scams.  Needham Bank first sponsored Springwell’s Money Management Program in 2002.  

 

“Grants from community-minded businesses are a lifeline for our Money Management Program,” says program coordinator, Kathy Barrett.  “This program is provided free to vulnerable, low-income elderly and disabled residents, thanks to the generosity of our corporate donors.  We are especially grateful to Needham Bank for their tremendous support.”  To learn more about the Money Management Program, call 617-926-4100 x201 or email kbarrett@springwell.com.
