Bar Harbor Bank & Trust Employees Donate More than $9,600 Collected in Q2 to Nonprofit Organizations |
Bar Harbor Bank & Trust recently presented donations totaling more than $9,600 to five Northern New England nonprofit organizations from its employee-driven charitable giving program, Casual for A Cause. The recipients of the contributions collected in Q2 2021 are: Boots2Roots, Chandler Center for the Arts, NextStep Domestic Violence Project, Paramount Theatre, and West Central Behavior Health.
“While the nonprofit organizations Bar Harbor Bank & Trust employees selected in Q2 2021 are diverse in the services they provide, they are unified in a common goal and that’s to improve the quality of life in our communities,” said Jack Frost, VP Director of Community Giving at Bar Harbor Bank & Trust. “We are honored to support them and the invaluable services they provide.”
Casual for a Cause gives Bank employees the opportunity to dress casually on Fridays in exchange for a bi-weekly payroll deduction made to a pool of funds collected during each quarter. The employees then vote on the nonprofits to receive their contributions. Employees have donated more than $100,000 to more than 50 organizations across Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont since the program launched in 2018.
West Central Behavioral Health is the nonprofit community mental health care provider for people of all ages living in the Upper Valley and Sullivan County, New Hampshire, regardless of their ability to pay. The organization offers a wide range of specialized services including outpatient, emergency, case management, residential and continuing care services. Learn more about West Central Behavioral Health at www.wcbh.org.
“Knowing we were chosen by the Bank's employees is especially heartening for it suggests mental illness and substance use disorders are an important part of their charitable priorities,” said Dave Celone, Director of Development & Community Relations at West Central Behavioral Health. “As we continue to seek to end the discrimination and bias surrounding mental illness, Bar Harbor Bank's employee support means the world to us.”

Invitation to a Forum for Landlords - September 14th at 10:30am |
Dear landlords and supporters of landlords,
You are invited to a forum to connect with other landlords and social service providers, to share and hear challenges and solutions people are trying.
Please join us virtually Tuesday, September 14 from 10:30 to 11:30 am.
This event is organized by the Sullivan County Housing Coalition working with Springfield Supportive Hosing and the Upper Valley Continuum of Care groups. We all want to improve housing adorability and availability on both sides of the Connecticut River. We think successful rentals are part of the solution, so we wanted to spend some time together to help us all learn about what is working for current landlords, and what solutions people are trying to the challenges landlords face.
