Senior Vice President/Senior Commercial Lending Officer Mel McKee (R) presents Valley Tech Superintendent-Director Dr. Michael F. Fitzpatrick (L) with a donation check to fund the school’s student transportation van.

Charles River Bank recently donated $1,000 to support the Blackstone Valley Regional Vocational Technical High School student van. This van is used to transport students to job sites within the 13-town district. Students use their technical skills to work in various public schools, municipal buildings and non-profit locations. Students in the Painting and Design Technologies program worked on creating the Charles River Bank logo that is adhered to the van in 3 locations.
“We are happy to help BVT in any way we can. Having this van available to the students is a great way for the school to get involved with the community as well as a wonderful way for students to practice their technical skills.  Greater exposure to different jobs and experiences helps these talented BVT students develop their professional capabilities,” said Charles River Bank President and CEO Jack Hamilton.
