KeyBank Foundation Awards $1500 to HSCVT
The Key Foundation, which is funded by KeyBank and its Vermont employees, has contributed $1,500 to support our efforts to facilitate home sharing matches.
Amy White, manager of KeyBank’s Barre Branch, presented the check to HSCVT director Betsy Reid. “We are very proud to partner with Home Share of Central Vermont,” White said. Providing resources that HSCVT needs to continue their valuable service “is a wonderful investment in the community.”
Lesli Blount, director of Community Relations for KeyBank, echoed White’s sentiments. “We are proud to be part of HSCVT’s efforts to enable elderly and disabled community members the chance to stay in their homes while providing affordable housing for someone in need,” Blount said.
Reid thanked KeyBank and its employees for their very tangible support. “KeyBank’s generosity is a classic example of Vermonters taking care of each other, which is exactly what home sharing is all about. In a successful home share match, each person helps the other — either by providing housing, or by providing the kind of assistance seniors and the disabled need to remain in their own homes as long as possible. ”
“Just as every participant in a match can take pride in helping the other, so, too, can KeyBank take pride in supporting central Vermont’s only home sharing program,” Reid observed.
Home Share of Central Vermont is sponsored by the Central Vermont Council on Aging but we must raise all our own funds.
