Washington Savings Bank "Give a Heart" Fundraiser

The month of February is always special at the Washington Savings Bank locations, as they host their annual "Give a Heart" fundraiser to raise Heart Health awareness.

All five Washington Savings Bank locations participate in selling paper hearts for $1 apiece for the fundraiser. In total, the five locations sold 435 paper hearts. The bank rounded up the amounts this year to raise a total of $900.
