Volunteer Hours
Kennebunk Savings defines itself by the depth of its commitment to the community. With a company dedicated to helping out nonprofit organizations, it should be no surprise that its employees also revel in helping others. Recently Kennebunk Savings officials took some time to celebrate those employees who are dedicated volunteers; the 2013 tally found that over half of the company contributed 7,500 hours of service to nearly 200 different organizations. The press release is available here.
