GNB Bank Pledging $15,000 to Support Manchester Vitality Endowment

GNB Bank in Manchester is pledging $15,000 to support the Manchester Vitality Endowment Fund.

This endowment fund is expected to have a lasting impact on the community by dispersing up to $25,000 annually to community projects and organizations.

The Manchester Vitality Leadership Team has been working hard to raise funds, most recently at their Holly Jolly Market. This is the final weekend for the market, which features an opportunity for local shopping with vendors set up in the old Widner Drug store in downtown Manchester.

The Manchester Vitality Endowment’s first project took place this summer with the hanging flower baskets around town – and most recently, they unveiled a new gathering tree for the holiday season near the Whitewater Park shelter. The group also recently celebrated a milestone by achieving the Small-Town Dreams Initiative Challenge Grant.
