Dedham Savings Community Foundation Pledges Support to Local Fuel Assistance Programs
The Dedham Savings Community Foundation has pledged $50,000 in grants to support local fuel assistance programs in communities served by the Bank, according to an announcement by Peter Brown, Dedham Savings President & Chief Executive Officer.
Brown, who also serves as President & Trustee of the Dedham Savings Community Foundation, emphasized the Bank’s dedication to community support: “Dedham Savings is committed to helping our neighbors when they need it most.
