SCARBOROUGH, Maine–In advance of National Nurses Week, which begins May 6th, Town & Country Federal Credit Union donated more than 100 bottles of hand sanitizers to nurses at Maine Medical Center.
“With all that is going on and the incredible work that nurses are doing during this healthcare crisis, we felt it was not only important to recognize their efforts but to also make a contribution focused on keeping nurses healthy,” said VP-PR and Communications Jon Paradise. “We appreciate the remarkable job of nurses and all of our frontline healthcare workers everyday but especially for their care and tireless efforts in this ongoing pandemic.”
The credit union made the contribution through its “Local Helping Local” initiative, which was created at the start of the pandemic as a way to highlight and support local needs and organizations, in addition to its ongoing assistance it is providing to its members. Since mid-March, the Town & Country said it has made significant contributions to help deliver thousands of meals to older Mainers, purchased meals for hundreds of frontline healthcare workers, assistance to families in crisis, and highlighted and supported locally-owned restaurants.
