Clarien Launches Annual GiveBack Campaign
Clarien Bank announced the commencement of its 18th annual Holiday GiveBack Campaign, a community-driven initiative that supports Meals on Wheels, a local charity dedicated to feeding those in need across Bermuda.
A spokesperson said, “Since its inception in 2010, the Holiday GiveBack Campaign has raised in excess of $120,000, directly impacting the lives of the sick, elderly, and disabled within our community. Meals on Wheels delivers not only hundreds of nutritious meals four times weekly but also provides an all-important check-in that often brightens each recipient’s day.”
Michael DeCouto, Clarien Bank’s EVP, Chief Digital & Marketing Officer, said, “Community spirit is woven into the fabric of Clarien Bank’s ethos. The Holiday GiveBack Campaign is a reflection of our dedication to being more than a bank in Bermuda; it’s an opportunity to touch lives, foster hope, and provide sustenance beyond monetary means. Our long-standing partnership with Meals on Wheels underscores this mission, proving that together, we can turn challenges into chances for positive change.”
