Dedham Savings Community Foundation Supports Local Food Pantries

The Dedham Savings Community Foundation has donated $50,000 in grants to support local food pantries in communities served by the Bank, according to an announcement by Peter Brown, Dedham Savings President & Chief Executive Officer.

This special round of funding is in direct response to concerns about the impact inflation is having on the ability of local households to afford rising food costs. During the past several years, the Dedham Savings Community Foundation has provided special grants to address heating costs, housing, and food insecurity. 

Stated Brown, who also serves as President & Trustee of the Dedham Savings Community Foundation, “Local pantries see high volumes in the number of families needing food assistance.  The Dedham Savings Community Foundation board was strongly in support of responding to this ongoing need.”

Noted Mark Ingalls, Dedham Savings Chief Financial Officer, as well as Treasurer & Trustee of the Foundation, “The Foundation Board truly understands the Bank’s role in providing funding for critical services like food security. Board members were unanimously in favor of once again providing this unsolicited aid to local pantries.”
