RBS National Bank Food and Toiletries Drive a Rousing Success

BRIDGEPORT, CT - (May 16, 2006) Bridgeport resident Carol Mammone was among the volunteers who assisted with the RBS National Bank and United Way of Eastern Fairfield County Food and Toiletries drive. Several hundred pounds of non-perishable food items as well as shampoo, health & beauty aides, laundry detergent, baby wipes and soap were collected and donated to local food pantries and soup kitchens. The two community partners erected a small cardboard house surrounded by a picket fence - the “RBS National Bank House” - as part of RBS’ internal United Way campaign.

United Way of Eastern Fairfield County is in the business of building a stronger, more caring community across Bridgeport, Easton, Fairfield, Monroe, Stratford and Trumbull. Our focus is on what matters. We are bringing people together from all across the community - people from government, business, faith groups, nonprofits, and ordinary citizens - to tackle the issues that matter most. United Way is committed to the bottom line results: the lives we change and the communities we shape. Find out more at www.thewaytocare.org.
