Reading Co-operative Bank Donates to Andover A Better Chance

Reading, MA –Recently, Reading Co-operative Bank employees donated to the Andover A Better Chance Organization (ABC House) as part of their 2013 Dress Down for Charity Campaign.  This campaign is an employee driven charity initiative where staff members chose to donate $5 in exchange for wearing denim.  This year, employees chose local non-profits that provide either educational programs or help to feed the hungry. 

“ABC House in Andover has had a tremendous impact on the lives of young women for over 50 years.  We are very happy to support this wonderful program,” says Amy LaMarche, Branch Manager Andover Office.

Since 1967, A Better Chance of Andover has been giving young, talented youth of color the opportunity to achieve their dreams through education. They bring motivated students to live in Andover, where they attend Andover High School to better prepare for college.  Their nonprofit program offers outstanding students from under-performing schools the opportunity to prepare for college at Andover High School, one of Massachusetts' top performing schools. The Andover community generously supports their goal of changing young lives, one person at a time.
