Primary Bank is proud to partner with local businesses and organizations to strengthen our community. Here is a highlight of our recent community partnerships:
'Young Hero' Scholarship Program
When Primary Bank launched their Young Hero Scholarship Program at the beginning of the year, the goal was to discover service-oriented, community-minded high school students throughout the State. The most pleasant surprise was the volume and limitless generosity of so many high school-aged students in New Hampshire.
Primary Bank selected a dozen altruistic, high school students who have made tangible differences in their communities as scholarship winners, with two rising to the top as the Primary Bank Young Hero of the Year and the People’s Choice Award Winner. All twelve students were honored at a special reception recognizing their achievements and receiving citations from New Hampshire Governor Sununu.
Supporting the New Hampshire Food Bank
Primary Bank partnered with WMUR-TV to support The New Hampshire Food Bank and share the 'Spirit of Giving' during the holiday season.
As the only food bank in the state, The New Hampshire Food Bank distributes nutritious food to more than 400 partner agencies who, in turn, distribute to food pantries, homeless shelters, soup kitchens, children’s programs, and senior centers across New Hampshire.
In 2021, The NH Food Bank provided more than 14 million meals by distributing 17 million pounds of non-perishable food items, fresh produce, and meats.
With the generous support of our customers and our team, Primary Bank branches delivered more than 840 lbs. of food to the Food Bank.
Youth Sports Night at the Fisher Cats
Primary Bank partnered with the New Hampshire Fisher Cats Baseball team to host the first Youth Sports Night. Young athletes from across New Hampshire fought for a chance to win $1,000 for their organization.
Congratulations to these young men and women and the many other New Hampshire athletes who have made an incredible impact on their communities.
The Salvation Army
In support of the Rotary Club of Bedford, NH, the Primary Bank Team took part in the annual Red Kettle Campaign for the Salvation Army of Manchester, NH. Donations to the iconic campaign help provide shelter and meals for the homeless and hungry, Christmas toys for children, in addition to numerous other social service programs year-round. Every donation put into a red kettle in Manchester, Bedford or Goffstown, stays local to help folks in those communities.
BeBOLD Bedford
“Bedford Goes Red” is a local, community effort sponsored by BeBOLD to stand up against substance abuse and show support to those who are affected by substance abuse. BeBOLD is a non-profit drug awareness, education and prevention coalition in Bedford. BeBOLD’s mission is to prevent substance abuse in the community by educating Bedford’s adults and youth about the current dangers of all kinds of substance abuse, including alcohol, illegal drugs, prescription drugs and tobacco.
Community Reinvestment Act
The Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) was enacted to encourage banks to meet the credit needs of the neighborhoods in which they operate, including low- and moderate-income communities.
