ANSONIA, Conn., August 8, 2016
– Janice Sheehy, a resident
of Ansonia, Connecticut and senior vice president, business banking at Webster Bank, is one of
the winners of Webster's "80 Days of Giving" volunteer award. This
is part of Webster's 80th Anniversary celebration. Sheehy's work helped earn $1,000 for the nonprofit
of her choice – the Father McKenna St. Vincent De Paul charity of Derby.
On the
Tuesday before Thanksgiving, Sheehy distributed Thanksgiving dinners to 60
families in the lower Naugatuck River Valley of southern Connecticut.
"This is a
small organization that has a big impact in the valley," Sheehy said. "I
sincerely believe in the mission of helping and supporting less fortunate
individuals and families in the valley."
The Father
McKenna St. Vincent De Paul charity was established in 1990 to assist the
elderly, homeless, working poor, physically handicapped, and mentally
challenged people in the lower Naugatuck valley by providing food, clothing,
household furnishings, support, and solace.
This
volunteer effort was one of many that have been submitted to the 80
Days of Giving Program which was launched October 11, 2015. In all, 103 bankers nominated volunteer
activities to receive one of the 80 grants.
The breadth and impact of participation stimulated even greater community
involvement by Webster bankers who now contribute more than 125,000 volunteer
hours annually. Webster Bank is a
leading regional bank serving businesses and consumers in the northeast.
