“We believe in the mission and of Tri-City CARES and want to contribute and support them as they make our community a better place to live for everyone,” said David Grubb, Market President for the Bank of Tioga.
All three locations of Tri-City CARES in Tioga, Stanley and New Town will be using this new van upon purchase.
“Tri-City CARES (TCC) would like to express our deepest gratitude for the very generous donation of $25,000 from The Bank of Tioga. The donation will be put towards the purchase of a new wheelchair accessible van. The Bank of Tioga is making a big difference in the lives of the people TCC supports.
