An act of kindness

In honor of their 160th anniversary last year, Chelsea Groton Bank launched a program called Acts of Kindness, which asked employees to select a charity or non-profit organization to support. The response to the program was so overwhelmingly positive that Chelsea Groton decided to continue it in 2015.

The Groton Animal Foundation was recently presented with a check from Chelsea Groton to support our mission in the community. This gift was made on behalf of Karen Ventura, in memory of Angus Ventura. We are so grateful to Karen and to Chelsea Groton for the generous donation, and for all of the support they have given to more than 200 local charities. We are truly fortunate to live in a community with businesses like Chelsea Groton that encourage employees to support charitable work.

I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank all of our donors. As the Animal Control Officer I am on the front lines and see how each and every donation no matter how big or small helps to improve the lives of all the animals that come through the Groton Animal Control Facility. I can’t express in words my gratitude for people like you who truly makes a difference in an animal’s life at the local level.
