NORTH ADAMS, PITTSFIELD, QUINCY, ROCKLAND, SCITUATE, WILLIAMSTOWN, MA, ISSUED OCTOBER 21, 2024 – MountainOne has announced a $5,000 donation to assist with the relief and recovery efforts following the disastrous impacts of Hurricanes Helene and Milton. This financial contribution underscores MountainOne’s dedication to supporting communities in times of need, even beyond its immediate service area. The donation was made in response to a call from the Massachusetts Bankers Association, which has been coordinating efforts to rally support for disaster-stricken regions.
 
MountainOne has donated $2,500 to the North Carolina Bankers Association Foundation Hurricane Helene Relief Fund. The fund was established to assist bank employees in Western North Carolina who have suffered losses and property damage as a result of the storm.
 
An equal amount of $2,500 has been donated to the Florida Disaster Fund, the State of Florida’s official private fund established to assist communities as they respond to and recover during times of emergency or disaster.
 
MountainOne’s contribution was guided by recommendations from the Massachusetts Bankers Association, in coordination with the North Carolina and Florida banking associations, helping to ensure the donations reach organizations well-equipped to provide meaningful support to those in need.
 
“While the impact of Hurricanes Helene and Milton may be far from our doorstep, we feel a profound responsibility to lend a hand, supporting those in need as they work to rebuild and recover their community,” said Robert Fraser, President & Chief Executive Officer of MountainOne.
