The holiday season can be especially difficult for many families in need.  One way that Kennebunk Savings is helping to strengthen communities and lend a hand to those in need is by donating thousands of dollars to local nonprofit food pantires.  As part of its "Community Promise" program, the business has donated a total of $5,000 to nonprofits including York County Food Rescue, York County Shelters Programs Inc., York Community Food Pantry, and the Seacoast Family Food Pantry in Portsmouth. 

This generosity is a tradition for Kennebunk Savings; each year, the company donates 10 percent of its earnings to nonprofit organizations.  Since 1994, these gifts have added up to $7.5 million.  Extensive community involvement is just one aspect of Kennebunk Savings' commitment to sustainability.  In addition, the business uses a company-wide recycling program, efficient up-to-date plumbing fixtures, and lawn treatment and cleaning products that are as organic as possible.  Kennebunk Savings is also in the process of switching all incandescent light bulbs to high efficiency alternatives.
