Thomas H. Piché, CEO of Carthage Savings stated, “Our Board is always instrumental in taking immediate and needed action in our community. We know that this is a particularly hard time of year for many community members. Food and supplies run short in many households. With the cost of everything rising, we wanted to provide some support.”
Mr. Piché also shared “My favorite quote for this time of year is from the movie ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’. Clarence tells George …”Remember, no man is a failure who has friends”. Our friends and neighbors live and work in this community. We want to do our part to help make it Wonderful.”
