Essex, CT Essex Savings Bank donated $10,000 in honor of Tri-Town Youth Services Bureau’s 40^th anniversary. The nonprofit organization helps the youth of Chester, Deep River, and Essex, addressing juvenile justice, crisis intervention, child welfare, mental health, positive youth development, and recreation. With this donation, the bank supports TTYSB’s efforts to provide childcare assistance to ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) families, which comprise over 20% of the area’s population.

Essex Savings Bank is eager to assist with TTYSB’s mission. President and CEO Diane Arnold said, “It is no secret that to maintain a healthy and connected community, we must always invest in the younger generation. That’s why the Tri-Town Youth Services Bureau is so important to us. We hope that this donation will help the bureau provide local families with the help they need.”
