CHARTER OAK HELPS GROW THE COMMUNITY

Credit Union Provides Funding Needed for Groton’s Community Garden


Charter Oak Federal Credit Union has signed on to support a new Community Garden located at 2 Fort Hill Road in Groton.

A member of the Groton community for over 70 years, Charter Oak funded the project through its new Community Giving Program in order to improve the lives of those living in the town who do not have their own land on which to grow fresh fruit and vegetables.

Also providing a sustainable food resource for the Groton Food Bank, the new garden will have plots available to local organizations and residents interested in cultivating them. Charter Oak’s $800 donation will be put to good use, as the funds will be used to purchase tools and equipment needed to prepare and maintain the plots.
