Lisbon - TD Bank recently donated $250 to Lisbon Community School as part of the bank’s commitment to giving back to the community through its Employee Volunteer Program.

Lisbon Community School serves 600 students from Pre-K to grade 5. “The school will use the funds from TD Bank to purchase additional reading books,” shares Carlene Iverson, LCS Principal.    “Books will be used for classroom instruction that were eliminated from the school budget due to the reductions in state and federal funding.”

The grant funds of $250 were donated as part of the bank’s Employee Volunteer Program, in which donations are made to non-profit organizations in recognition of employee volunteer time with organizations.  TD Bank employee, Heather L. Purdy-Scroggins, volunteered 40 hours of personal time within the past year as an adult volunteer with the Lisbon School Department.

A staunch commitment to active involvement in the local community is a vital element of the TD Bank philosophy. TD Bank provides financial and other support to educational, community, human service, arts, and health-related programs, many of which focus on improving the welfare of children and families.
