Monson Savings Bank President and CEO Dan Moriarty recently met with the Scantic Valley YMCA Branch Executive Director Debbie Kelder and YMCA of Greater Springfield President and CEO Dexter Johnson to present them with a $1,000 donation.
This $1,000 donation was made because of the Scantic Valley YMCA Branch placing in the top ten vote recipients for the Monson Savings Bank 2023 Community Giving Initiative. Community members voted for their favorite charitable organizations and chose the Scantic Valley YMCA to be a recipient of the donation.
“The relationship with the YMCA and Monson Savings spans many years. We are so happy to continue to offer our support with this most recent donation of $1,000,” said Moriarty. “The Scantic Valley YMCA is our Loan and Operations Center’s neighbor and many of our team members take advantage of its close proximity to their office! We know how important this location is to local community members.”
The Scantic Valley YMCA is part of YMCA of Greater Springfield and is located at 45 Post Office Park in Wilbraham. The location offers various programs and services for youth, teens, families and seniors to support the mind, body and spirit. This includes aquatics, cycling, pickleball, yoga, and a wide variety of exercise programs. Additionally, childcare assistance and wellness programs are available. Membership to the YMCA allows members to make a positive impact in their life and the lives of others, through health improving activities, by engaging with friends, and giving back to those in need.

“The YMCA is very grateful to have a community partner like Monson Savings Bank,” said Johnson. “Donations from our partners give us the ability to better serve the community by offering financial assistance to those in need of childcare or our wellness services. Thank you to those that voted for the Scantic Valley Y and thank you to Monson Savings Bank for your kindness and generosity.”
Scantic Valley YMCA Branch Executive Director Debbie Kelder also expressed her gratitude for the community bank.
“The relationship between Monson Savings and Scantic Valley Y is a very special one. For several years we have been located in Post Office Park with the Wilbraham Branch and in the past few years we have been thrilled to have the Loan and Operations Center move into the ‘neighborhood,’” said Kelder. “I would like to thank them on behalf of our organization for this generous donation.”
