SACO — In 2013, Saco & Biddeford Savings Institution was once again able to donate more than $332,000, shared by more than 375 organizations and nonprofits throughout the southern Maine area, and other nonprofit chapters in Maine.

This was the 12th consecutive year that the bank was able to donate more than $300,000.

Beneficiaries include food pantries and meal programs, schools, service programs, health and wellness programs, the arts, environmental preservation programs and many other nonprofits.

Part of the bank’s 2013 donation included more than $13,000 that was contributed to local food pantries and meal programs just after the start of the new year to help restock shelves that were depleted during the holidays. This most recent donation is in addition to the support that the bank provides these food programs throughout the year.

In addition, a monthly day where employees can wear jeans helped raise an additional $2,000 that went to nonprofits that were selected by the bank’s employees.
