North Easton Savings Bank has announced the successful conclusion of its fourth “A World for Good” community nonprofit voting campaign. The bank’s customers, social media followers and community members voted for a local organization of their choice. At the end of the campaign, a percentage of $5,000 is distributed to each organization based on how many votes each received.  Some 3,800 votes in this campaign were received.
