MIDDLETOWN – On December 19, Liberty Bank presented a $5,000 check on behalf of its customers to Bloomfield-based nonprofit Covenant to Care for Children. The organization will use the donation to buy holiday gift cards for teenagers in the care of the state who are neglected, abused or at-risk.

“We want to show our sincere appreciation for our customers, support for our communities and, at the same time, help local children who might otherwise be forgotten during this holiday season,” said Chandler J. Howard, president and CEO, Liberty Bank.

To supplement the monetary gift, the bank also held a children’s hat, mitten and scarf drive at its 46 locations throughout central, eastern and shoreline Connecticut. In all, employees and customers donated over 715 items of warm clothing – many of them handmade – which were also turned over to Covenant to Care for Children.
