United Trust Bank recently announced a donation of $3,000 to Safe Harbour, a not-for-profit organization that provides a continuum of housing services for those experiencing homelessness in Cumberland County.
The donation was part of a fundraising challenge in which United Trust Bank made a $1,000 contribution to Safe Harbour’s annual campaign and agreed to donate an additional $2,000 when 25 individuals or companies made contributions of $1,000 or more.
“United Trust Bank is committed to supporting the efforts of organizations like Safe Harbour, which provides for our community members in the midst of their toughest times,” said Tim Henry, President and CEO of United Trust Bank. “It is encouraging to see that so many donors met our challenge, and we gladly make the additional contribution.”
Safe Harbour’s shelter and supportive services ensure that residents gain the skills and abilities needed to maintain permanent housing and become contributing members of the community.
“United Trust Bank’s gift to our annual campaign is a significant contribution that supports the families and individuals who call Safe Harbour home,” said Scott K. Shewell, Safe Harbour President and CEO of Safe Harbour. “The challenge funding offered by United Trust Bank inspired the generosity of many others.”
The 2021 annual campaign raised more than $100,000 to support the continued operations of Safe Harbour’s life-changing programs, Shewell said.
