As a part of its mission to support the local communities, Monson Savings Bank recently made a $10,000 donation to Revitalize Community Development Corporation (CDC) in support of their 2023 Capital Campaign.
Revitalize CDC is a Springfield based organization that was founded in 1992. The Springfield organization works to improve the wellbeing of our community members by addressing poor housing conditions. For more than 30 years, Revitalize CDC has been committed to performing critical home repairs for local low-income families with children, the elderly, military veterans, and people with special needs, at no cost.
In addition to improving the living conditions of our neighbors, Revitalize CDC also strives to help improve their physical health. The organization performs free assessments and interventions for adults and children with asthma. They also offer a Nutrition Rx program in conjunction with local health care partners to address food insecurity and chronic health conditions.
Revitalize CDC has grown and expanded over the years to better serve the community’s needs. They outgrew their current workspace and launched a capital campaign to help raise funds to move into a larger facility to help more people in need.
“The new office space is perfect; the size of the building is exactly what we needed to house our growing administrative and program staff,” said Revitalize CDC President and CEO Colleen Loveless. “We will work with Eversource to add solar and other equipment to maximize energy efficiency. We will also construct a 2-bay distribution center to house critical healthy home and nutrition supplies, volunteer equipment, and a fleet of vehicles. None of this would be possible without the generous support of our Capital Campaign donors, like Monson Savings Bank.”
Monson Savings Bank President and CEO Dan Moriarty praised the local organization for the work that they do.
“Monson Savings Bank is honored to support Revitalize CDC and the important work that they are doing for our communities,” said Moriarty. “It is organizations like this that help make the world a better place. We applaud them for all their efforts and look forward to seeing them blossom in their new space.”
