During the holidays, M&T employees in Delaware are involved in a variety of volunteer activities to support local nonprofits. Together, they worked to ensure Delaware families in need can enjoy hot meals, gifts and more from Thanksgiving through Christmas.
 
This year, M&T employees supported:

• Sunday Breakfast Mission. The lobby of M&T Delaware was filled with everything from baby food to cranberry sauce when employees collected goods for the Sunday Breakfast Mission’s annual food drive, which served Thanksgiving dinner to homeless families in Delaware.
• Salvation Army’s Stocking Program. M&T opened the holiday season of giving by participating in the Salvation Army’s Stocking Program. Employees filled stockings with toys and necessities for less fortunate children.
• Ministry of Caring. M&T employees helped the Ministry of Caring’s Emmanuel Dining Room fulfill the holiday wish lists of 25 children in need in Delaware by collecting toys and clothes.
• Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign. M&T employees boosted donations for the Salvation Army Delaware by ringing the traditional red bell outside the Center building.
• Sojourner’s Place. Employees helped Sojourner’s Place collect donations to put toward gifts on the wish lists of adults in need in Delaware.  
• Salvation Army’s Angel Tree Program. M&T Bank employees distributed gift information to shoppers and collected gifts from generous donors for The Angel Tree Program, which brings toys, clothes, and warm winter coats to children through the Salvation Army. 

“At M&T Bank, we’re committed to making a positive impact on communities in Delaware – both as an organization and as individuals,” said Nick Lambrow, President of the Delaware Region for M&T Bank. “That’s why we support several volunteer opportunities throughout the holiday season for our employees to help those in need. We’re honored to partner with these charities, and are proud of our employees who worked hard to help make a difference and uphold the M&T tradition of community giving this holiday season.”
