The Ballard Road Office of Saratoga National Bank and Trust Company raised funds and collected donations for local nonprofits at its Community Appreciation Day on Friday, October 26.

The Office in Wilton collected five large boxes of food and $75 for the Wilton Food Pantry; dozens of hats, mittens and coats for area families; and donations of dog and cat food for H.O.P.E. (Homes for Orphaned Pets Exist), an animal rescue agency. In addition, H.O.P.E. was on-site at the event with two cats and a dog, which generated some potential adoption leads and monetary contributions.

The event also featured food and refreshments from Stewart’s Shops, balloon figures, and drawings for prizes.
All Saratoga National Bank Offices are hosting Community Appreciation Days this year. The events are meant to show the Bank’s appreciation for its neighbors, while assisting local causes.
